Overview
Uzbekistan's primary enrollment stood at 120.86% in 2025, a rise of +26.43pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 114.04% by 2026. Uzbekistan ranked 15th globally.
Uzbekistan’s primary school enrollment rate has risen sharply over the 26‑year series, moving from 99.15 % in 2000 to an all‑time peak of 120.86 % in 2025, the highest level recorded in the dataset and the fifteenth‑largest globally. The upward trajectory was briefly interrupted in 2023, when enrollment fell to a trough of 93.49 %, suggesting a short‑term shock before the subsequent rebound. Compared with peer nations occupying similar rank positions, Uzbekistan’s latest figure of 120.86 % slightly trails India’s 124.28 % and St. Kitts and Nevis’s 121.90 % but exceeds Namibia’s 119.25 % and Morocco’s 119.15 %, underscoring its competitive standing in the region. The sustained expansion reflects continued government investment in universal primary education and demographic growth. If fiscal commitments to school infrastructure and teacher recruitment are maintained, the enrollment rate is likely to remain above the 120 % threshold, reinforcing Uzbekistan’s position among the world’s most highly enrolled primary education systems.
