The latest figure stands at 94.85%, a decline from the 100.05% peak in 2020. This decline is particularly notable considering the country's all-time high, which was just a year prior.

A significant investment in education infrastructure and resources could potentially alter the trajectory of Turkmenistan's primary enrollment rate, allowing the country to continue its progress towards achieving universal education.
