Overview
Tajikistan's secondary enrollment stood at 86.41% in 2025, a decline of +0.49pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 86.41% by 2025. Tajikistan ranked 113th globally.
Tajikistan’s secondary school enrollment rate has fallen markedly since the early 1990s, dropping from its all‑time peak of 101.48 % in 1991 to a trough of 71.82 % in 1999, before gradually recovering to 86.41 % in 2025, placing the country 113th globally. The sharp decline in the 1990s coincided with the post‑Soviet transition, which disrupted funding and infrastructure for education. Over the subsequent two decades, modest policy reforms and increased public spending have lifted enrollment by more than 14 percentage points, narrowing the gap with regional peers such as Kenya (87.25 %) and Egypt (86.87 %). Nevertheless, the current level remains below the pre‑1990s peak and reflects persistent challenges in rural access and teacher shortages. Continued investment in school construction, teacher training and targeted scholarships could sustain the upward trajectory, potentially pushing Tajikistan’s enrollment above 90 % within the next five years.
