Secondary school enrollment is the gross ratio of total students registered in secondary education compared to the official age-appropriate population. It reflects a nation's ability to provide education to its youth beyond the primary level. The figure often includes both general and vocational programs, offering a comprehensive view of adolescent educational engagement.

According to the latest available data, Monaco holds the highest gross secondary school enrollment ratio at approximately 158.5%. This figure exceeds 100% because the total enrollment includes students who are older or younger than the official age group, such as those repeating grades or international students attending schools within the country.

Based on recent estimates, Somalia records the lowest gross secondary school enrollment ratio at approximately 3.3%. Such low figures often indicate severe systemic challenges, including limited infrastructure, economic barriers, or ongoing instability, which prevent the vast majority of the school-age population from accessing or completing their secondary education.

The ratio is calculated by taking the total number of secondary school students and dividing it by the population that officially belongs to that age group. The result is then multiplied by 100 to produce a percentage. This gross measure includes all students, even if they do not fall within the traditional age range.
