Mongolia’s primary school enrollment rate stood at 92.93% in 2025, placing it 144th in the world and just below peers such as Zimbabwe (92.99%) and Kiribati (92.67%). The indicator has fluctuated over a 54‑year span, reaching an all‑time high of 121.84% in 2010 – a figure that reflects over‑age or repeat attendance common in transitional education systems – and falling to a trough of 78.58% in 1994 during the post‑socialist restructuring of the early 1990s. The earliest recorded level in 1971 was 94.50%, indicating that the current rate is marginally lower than the pre‑transition baseline. Despite the dramatic peak, the long‑term trajectory has been upward since the 1994 low, driven by government expansion of rural schools and targeted subsidies. Continued investment in teacher training and infrastructure, coupled with policies to reduce repeat enrollment, will be crucial to sustain the modest gains and move the rate closer to universal coverage.
