The gross enrollment ratio for secondary school.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 1986 to 2025.
Top-20 · % (gross ratio)
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.
