North Macedonia’s secondary school enrollment has risen steadily over the past 22 years, climbing from 83.58 % in 2000 to an all‑time high of 95.77 % in 2025, which also places the country at 81st in the world rankings. The upward trajectory was briefly interrupted in 2020, when enrollment fell to a trough of 82.44 %, but the subsequent recovery has been robust, surpassing the 2024 level of 94.92 % and edging just below the 95.78 % recorded by peer Macao SAR, China. Compared with other high‑performing peers such as Korea (96.16 %) and Eswatini (95.08 %), North Macedonia remains slightly lower but well within the top‑tier bracket. The sustained expansion reflects continued investment in secondary education and improved access in rural areas. Maintaining this momentum will depend on preserving funding levels and addressing demographic shifts that could otherwise dampen future enrollment growth.
