Primary, lower secondary and upper secondary mapped by UIS · completion estimates clearly labeled
UNESCO UIS maps Comoros across primary, lower secondary and upper secondary education. A 2026 UNESCO IICBA data brief reports model-based 2024 completion estimates of 92.2% for primary, 70.4% for lower secondary and 44.3% for upper secondary for all students; these are estimates rather than administrative enrollment counts.

Completion estimates, not enrollment counts
UNESCO IICBA's 2026 brief presents estimated completion rates for the Comoros. For all students, the 2024 best estimates are 92.2% for primary, 70.4% for lower secondary and 44.3% for upper secondary.
The estimates include uncertainty
The source publishes lower and upper bounds around each best estimate and explicitly notes that estimates can differ from official administrative data. For that reason, the values on this page are marked as estimates and should not be read as exact administrative counts.
Education levels are mapped separately
UIS provides a country mapping for the Comoros under ISCED 2011. Keeping primary, lower secondary and upper secondary separate prevents completion rates from being compared as though they represented the same stage.
A careful comparison boundary
The completion estimates describe the share completing an education level under the model used by UNESCO. They are not school attendance rates, gross enrollment ratios or current student headcounts.
