Senegal's secondary enrollment rate has experienced a steady increase over the past four decades, with a marked improvement from 8.74% in 1971 to an all-time high of 50.55% in 2014. The country's progress, however, has been hindered by fluctuations, and as of 2025, the secondary enrollment rate stands at 44.69%, ranking 154 globally. A comparison with peer countries reveals that Senegal trails behind Guatemala, which boasts a higher rate of 46.99%. Eritrea's 41.50% enrollment rate in 2025 is also higher than Senegal's current rate. Despite the setback, Senegal's secondary enrollment rate has shown resilience, particularly considering the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic downturn in the region. To reverse the downward trend and propel Senegal towards a higher ranking, the government would need to prioritize education infrastructure development, increase access to quality education, and enhance teacher training programs to boost the country's human capital and competitiveness.
