Overview
Moldova's secondary enrollment stood at 99.81% in 2025, a rise of +0.47pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 99.81% by 2025. Moldova ranked 66th globally.
Moldova’s secondary school enrollment rose from 87.98 % in 2010 to 99.81 % in 2025, placing the country 66th in the world and just below Czechia’s 99.80 % rate. The upward trajectory accelerated after the 2011 trough of 87.72 %, reaching an all‑time peak of 106.05 % in 2016, a level that reflects over‑enrollment when students attend multiple grades or repeat years. The sustained increase over the 16‑year coverage period suggests that policy reforms expanding access and improving affordability have begun to bear fruit, narrowing the gap with higher‑performing peers such as Germany (100.38 %) and Mongolia (100.29 %). Continued investment in school infrastructure, teacher quality and targeted retention programmes will be crucial to maintain the current momentum and push enrollment beyond the 100 % threshold, ensuring that the gains are reflected in higher completion rates and labour‑market outcomes.
