Tertiary enrollment ratio

Tier A· Official

Gross enrollment in tertiary (higher) education as a share of the population of the typical tertiary-age cohort.

100 = highest tertiary enrollment in the dataset, 0 = lowest

Mixed reference years (2000–2025). This metric uses each country's most recent available year, so countries are not all measured in the same year — cross-country comparison is weakened. Each row shows its own reference year.

How this score is built

Gross tertiary (higher-education) enrollment ratio — World Bank indicator SE.TER.ENRR (UNESCO Institute for Statistics). Because it is a *gross* ratio (all enrolled ages over the typical tertiary-age population), it can exceed 100%. Direction is higher_better. Normalized with min–max; the raw ratio is shown. Most recent available year per country.
