About This Dataset
Countries with the Highest University Enrollment Rate 2023
The 20 countries and territories with the highest tertiary school enrollment rate in 2023. Greece leads at 165.1%, ahead of Macao at 129.2% and Finland at 108.1%. This is a gross rate: it counts all students in higher education against the population of the standard university age group, so mature students can push it above 100%. Only 128 countries reported this figure for 2023.
Analysis
10 of the 128 reporting countries are above 100%, which reflects students who are older or younger than the standard university age rather than more students than people. The median reporting country stands at 54.3%.
