Monaco Secondary Enrollment

Monaco’s secondary enrollment rate has risen steadily since the earliest World Bank record in 1971, when it stood at 141.33%, reaching an all‑time trough of 139.18% in 1991 before climbing to a peak of 158.55% in 2024. The latest 2025 figure of 157.14% places Monaco at the top of the global ranking, outpacing its closest peers such as the Netherlands (151.83%) and Finland (143.05%). The upward trajectory reflects the principality’s intensive investment in private schooling, generous scholarship schemes, and a demographic profile dominated by high‑income families who can afford secondary education abroad or in elite local institutions. While the coverage span of 17 years limits long‑term trend analysis, the consistent gains since the early 1990s suggest that policy continuity and sustained fiscal capacity will likely keep Monaco’s secondary enrollment near the top of the international ladder, barring major shifts in population structure or fiscal priorities.
