Education in Grenada
DATASource-led profile
Source-led profile 路 Reference years shown
Grenada's Central Statistical Office publishes education series covering public and private activity from primary through tertiary education. Its visible online series is historical, so every dated figure remains historical. Grenada's visible official web series is historical, and the page keeps those source years explicit. The figures below are sourced from the authoritative references listed on this page.

How the education pathway works
The system section therefore stays simple, while the evidence cards name the exact year attached to each published statistic.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-school education | Early years | Pre-school provision precedes primary schooling. |
| Primary education | School stage | Primary education is reported separately in the CSO education series. |
| Secondary education | After primary | Secondary education follows the primary stage. |
| Tertiary education | Beyond school | Tertiary institutions are included in the CSO's education statistical scope. |
Key evidence
The 0.13% figure comes from a 2014 digest, while the secondary enrolment and graduate counts come from the 2015/16 leavers table.

Reading the Grenada evidence
Using these values is still useful for understanding the published series, provided they are not presented as a description of 2026 conditions.
The page deliberately avoids extrapolating from the historical CSO tables to a new national total.
