This dramatic decline in 2024 contrasts with the global trend, as Puerto Rico now ranks 85th globally in secondary enrollment, with a rate of 94.21% in 2025.

A reversal of this trend could be triggered by policy interventions aimed at improving education infrastructure, enhancing teacher training, and increasing access to education for underserved populations.
