Overview
Oman's primary enrollment stood at 77.48% in 2025, a decline of +11.77pp from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 77.48% by 2025. Oman ranked 176th globally.
Oman's primary enrollment rate has experienced significant fluctuations over the past two decades, with the country's all-time peak occurring in 2011 at 111.14%. This marked a notable increase from the 2000 figure of 92.62%, indicating a significant expansion of educational access during this period. However, Oman's primary enrollment rate has since declined, with the latest available data from 2025 showing a rate of 77.48%, ranking the country 176th globally. This decline is comparable to that of nearby Lesotho, which also struggles to maintain its primary enrollment rate, with a similar 2025 figure of 78.09%. The downward trend in Oman's primary enrollment rate may be attributed to various factors, including shifting economic priorities or changes in government policies. A sustained investment in education infrastructure and policies aimed at increasing access to primary education could potentially alter the trajectory of Oman's primary enrollment rate and improve the country's global ranking.
