Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's tertiary enrollment stood at 43.76% in 2016, a decline of +4.08pp from 2015. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 80th globally.
Syria's tertiary enrollment rate has shown a steady increase over the past four decades, with the percentage of the population engaged in tertiary education rising from 7.45% in 1971 to 43.76% in 2016, positioning the country at 80th globally. This significant growth is comparable to that of neighboring countries, such as Algeria, which had a slightly higher enrollment rate of 43.9% in 2016, and stands in contrast to the 7.45% rate seen in 1971, the lowest point on record. The country's tertiary enrollment peaked at 47.84% in 2015, just a year before the 2016 figure. However, the ongoing conflict in Syria has likely disrupted this trend, and the country's tertiary enrollment rate may be impacted by the ongoing crisis. If stability is restored and the conflict subsides, it is likely that Syria's tertiary enrollment rate will continue to grow, driven by increased access to education and a more stable economic environment.
