Overview
Tajikistan's primary enrollment stood at 94.89% in 2025, a decline of +0.87pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 94.89% by 2025. Tajikistan ranked 130th globally.
Tajikistan's primary enrollment rate has demonstrated notable improvement since 1991, when it stood at 89.51%. The country experienced a significant decline in 1997, reaching an all-time low of 83.08%, likely due to the economic and social challenges following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. However, since then, Tajikistan has made substantial progress, with the rate increasing to 94.89% in 2025, ranking it among the top 130 globally. Notably, this rate surpassed the country's all-time peak of 100.40% in 2020, a testament to its education sector's resilience. In comparison, Bulgaria's primary enrollment rate of 94.91% in 2025 is marginally higher, while Turkmenistan's rate of 94.85% is comparable. The consistent increase in primary enrollment suggests a strong commitment to education in Tajikistan. However, sustaining this trend may be challenging in the face of economic and demographic pressures, which could potentially alter the trajectory of Tajikistan's education sector.
