Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's secondary enrollment stood at 39.07% in 2025, a rise of +0.34pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 39.07% by 2025. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 156th globally.
Syrian Arab Republic’s secondary‑school enrollment has risen modestly from an all‑time trough of 36.27 % in 1971 to a peak of 73.14 % in 2012, before slipping to 39.07 % in 2025, placing the country 156th globally. The decline after 2012 reflects the protracted conflict that disrupted schooling, infrastructure and public finances, undoing earlier gains achieved during the pre‑war expansion of the education system. Compared with regional peers, Syria’s 2025 enrollment sits slightly below Cameroon’s 38.72 % and above Eritrea’s 41.50 %, underscoring a relative lag in post‑conflict recovery. Over the 49‑year coverage period, the volatile trajectory suggests that sustained peace, reconstruction of schools and targeted subsidies for disadvantaged groups will be decisive in restoring the upward trend and moving the enrollment rate closer to the regional average.
