Overview
Paraguay's tertiary enrollment stood at 37.62% in 2010, a decline of +2.15pp from 2009. Paraguay ranked 62nd globally.
Paraguay's tertiary enrollment rate has undergone significant growth over the past three decades. Starting from an all-time low of 3.95% in 1970, the country managed to increase its tertiary enrollment rate to 39.77% in 2009, surpassing some of its peers such as Malaysia, which peaked at 36.68% in the same year. However, Paraguay's tertiary enrollment rate declined to 37.62% in 2010, ranking 62nd globally. Despite this decline, the country's tertiary enrollment rate has shown a steady increase from its 1970 trough, outpacing countries like Jordan, which ranked slightly higher at 37.76% in 2010. This growth in tertiary education is likely a result of increased government investment in education and a growing economy. However, the slowdown in 2010 suggests that Paraguay may face challenges in sustaining this growth, and a decline in government funding or economic instability could potentially reverse the trend.
