Overview
Oman's primary completion rate stood at 76.24% in 2025, a decline of +10.35pp from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 76.24% by 2025. Oman ranked 134th globally.
Oman’s primary completion rate has fallen sharply over the past two decades, slipping from an early‑2000 level of 83.38% to a 2025 figure of 76.24%, which places the country 134th globally. The indicator reached an all‑time peak of 116.51% in 2011, a level that exceeded the theoretical maximum of 100% because of over‑age students completing primary school, before entering a prolonged decline that has now produced an all‑time trough. Compared with peer nations of similar rank, Oman’s 2025 rate is marginally lower than Cameroon’s 76.30% and slightly above Seychelles’ 75.62%, suggesting that regional performance is similarly constrained. The 18‑year coverage period highlights a persistent downward trajectory that contrasts with the earlier surge, raising concerns about the effectiveness of recent education policies. If reforms that improve school attendance, teacher quality and resource allocation are implemented, the downward trend could be halted and the completion rate may begin to recover in the coming years.
