Every nation with data

Figures are gross enrolment ratios — repeaters and over-age pupils can push a figure above 100%. This table mixes vintages: each publisher carries a nation’s latest available year, so the observations here run from 2006 to 2025 — every row shows its own.

No data

11 nations publish no figure for this indicator in the sources below. Absence is a fact about the world’s statistical apparatus, not a zero — these nations are not ranked.

  • 🇦🇶Antarctica

    Antarctica has no permanent population and no national government — it is administered under the Antarctic Treaty. No statistical agency compiles national indicators for it, so there is nothing here to report.

  • 🇩🇯Djibouti
  • 🇫🇰Falkland Islands

    The Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory, administered by the United Kingdom; sovereignty is disputed by Argentina. They are not a separate reporting entity in World Bank datasets.

  • 🇹🇫French Southern and Antarctic Lands

    The French Southern and Antarctic Lands have no permanent civilian population. They are administered from Réunion as an overseas territory of France and are not a separate reporting entity in international datasets.

  • 🇬🇱Greenland
  • 🇽🇰Kosovo
  • 🇳🇨New Caledonia
  • Northern Cyprus

    Northern Cyprus is recognised as a state by Türkiye alone. It is not a member of the United Nations or the World Bank, and does not appear as a separate entity in the datasets these indicators are drawn from.

  • Somaliland

    Somaliland declared independence in 1991 and has not been recognised by the United Nations or any member state. Where its figures are collected at all, they are reported within Somalia's.

  • 🇹🇼Taiwan

    Taiwan is not a member of the United Nations, and is excluded from the World Bank and UN series that supply most of this dossier. Its own statistical agencies publish extensively.

  • 🇻🇦Vatican City

    Vatican City has a resident population of a few hundred and does not compile the economic and social series these indicators are drawn from.
