What share of children reach the last grade of primary school.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 1983 to 2025.
Top-20 · % of the age group
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

The number of pupils in the last grade of primary school as a percentage of the population of the corresponding age. The indicator adds dropout to the picture that enrollment gives: almost everyone can enroll, while noticeably fewer make it to the end. Values above one hundred percent are not an error but a consequence of repetition and late entry: children older than the official age end up in the final grade.
Important: It can exceed 100% because of repeaters and of pupils older than the official age — a property of the methodology, not a sign of universal coverage. The aggregate is weighted by the number of children, not by total population.
The net enrollment rate: the share of children of school age attending primary school.
Education 1970–2025 Share of children out of schoolWhat share of children of school age are not in school.
Education 2010–2020 Harmonized test scoresWhat children have actually learned — a score on a scale that brings different international tests together.
Education 1970–2024 Literacy rateThe share of adults able to read and write simple statements about everyday life.
