Lower-secondary completion rate
Tier A· OfficialNumber of new lower-secondary graduates as a share of the population at the typical graduation age.
100 = highest completion in the dataset, 0 = lowest
Mixed reference years (2007–2025). 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
Lower-secondary completion rate — gross intake to the last grade of lower secondary — World Bank indicator SE.SEC.CMPT.LO.ZS (UNESCO Institute for Statistics). Direction is higher_better. Normalized with min–max; the raw percentage is shown (it can exceed 100% because of over-age/repeating students). Most recent available year per country.
