Overview
Russian Federation's secondary enrollment stood at 87.98% in 2025, a decline of +4.50pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 87.98% by 2025. Russian Federation ranked 109th globally.
The Russian Federation has demonstrated varying levels of success in secondary education enrollment over the past two decades. At its peak in 2019, secondary enrollment reached 100.47% of the relevant age group, a notable achievement that positioned Russia near the top globally. However, this trend reversed in the subsequent years, with enrollment rates declining to 87.98% in 2025, a position that ranks Russia 109th worldwide. This decline mirrors the performance of certain peer countries, such as the Philippines, which has maintained a relatively stable enrollment rate of 88.71%, while others like St. Lucia have seen improvements, reaching 87.95% in 2025. The all-time trough of 86.49% in 2006 suggests that Russia's education sector has faced challenges in the past, and the current decline may indicate similar difficulties. If Russia is to reverse this trend, it will need to address the underlying issues affecting secondary education, potentially through targeted investments in infrastructure, teacher training, or policy reforms.
