Overview
Uzbekistan's secondary enrollment stood at 98.12% in 2025, a rise of +1.28pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 97.75% by 2026. Uzbekistan ranked 73rd globally.
Uzbekistan’s secondary school enrollment rose from 85.35 % in 2000 to an all‑time peak of 98.12 % in 2025, placing the country 73rd globally and narrowly behind peers such as Qatar (98.43 %) and the United States (98.47 %). The 12.77‑percentage‑point increase over 24 years reflects sustained government investment in compulsory education, expanded school infrastructure, and reforms aimed at reducing gender gaps in rural areas. While the growth rate accelerated after 2010, the final decade saw a slower but steady climb, suggesting that the easy gains from expanding basic access have largely been realised and further improvements will depend on quality enhancements and retention strategies. Compared with Kazakhstan’s 97.62 % enrollment, Uzbekistan now exceeds its regional neighbour, indicating a competitive edge in universal secondary coverage. Continued focus on teacher training, digital learning resources, and vocational pathways will be critical to maintain the upward trajectory and push enrollment closer to full universality.
