Overview
Mongolia's secondary enrollment stood at 100.29% in 2025, a rise of +3.47pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.29% by 2025. Mongolia ranked 65th globally.
Mongolia’s secondary‑school enrollment has risen sharply since the early 1970s, moving from a trough of 58.51 % in 1972 to an all‑time peak of 100.29 % in 2025, the latest figure reported by the World Bank. This 100.29 % rate places Mongolia 65th in the world, marginally below Germany’s 100.38 % and Latvia’s 100.39 % while edging ahead of Moldova’s 99.81 % and Czechia’s 99.80 %. The 37‑year coverage of the series captures a sustained expansion of secondary education, reflecting government policies that broadened access and reduced gender gaps after the socialist era. Although the enrollment rate now exceeds the nominal population of secondary‑age youths, the figure indicates near‑universal participation rather than over‑enrollment, as the World Bank’s methodology allows rates above 100 % when students repeat grades or attend private institutions. Continued investment in school infrastructure and teacher quality will be crucial to maintain this high level and to convert enrollment into measurable learning outcomes as Mongolia seeks to deepen human‑capital development.
