Overview
West Bank and Gaza's secondary enrollment stood at 89.17% in 2025, a rise of +0.04pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 89.17% by 2025. West Bank and Gaza ranked 105th globally.
West Bank and Gaza’s secondary school enrollment has risen markedly since the mid‑1990s, climbing from a trough of 65.25 % in 1995 to a peak of 91.01 % in 2021, before slipping slightly to 89.17 % in 2025, placing the territory 105th globally. The 26‑percentage‑point gain over three decades reflects expanding public education provision and concerted donor support, yet the modest decline after 2021 suggests emerging constraints, possibly linked to fiscal pressures and periodic disruptions. Compared with peers, the 2025 figure is just below Mauritius (90.03 %) and Serbia (89.05 %) and marginally under Armenia’s 91.25 % level, indicating that the territory remains competitive within the middle tier of secondary enrollment rates. The 29‑year coverage period shows a clear upward trajectory, but sustaining the post‑peak level will require continued investment in school infrastructure and resilience to political and economic shocks, which could determine whether enrollment stabilises or resumes growth.
