Primary school enrollment in the Federated States of Micronesia has fallen dramatically from a historic high of 214.64 % in 1973 to 80.52 % in 2025, placing the nation at 171st in the world. The 1970s peak, recorded when the country was still consolidating its education system under U.S. administration, reflected a period of extensive enrollment drives that temporarily exceeded the typical 100 % benchmark due to over‑age and repeat students. Over the subsequent 25 years the share has trended downward, reaching an all‑time trough of 80.52 % in the most recent year, a level virtually identical to the Republic of Congo’s 80.53 % and only slightly above Romania’s 80.08 %. The decline coincides with demographic shifts, limited fiscal capacity, and challenges in maintaining school infrastructure across dispersed islands. If the government can increase budgetary allocations for teacher training and expand remote learning solutions, the downward trajectory may be halted and enrollment could begin to recover in the coming decade.
