In 2023, Australia topped the list with a gross enrollment ratio of 158.86% in preprimary education for females, followed by Grenada and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Notable annual growth is observed in countries like Cambodia (19.63%), Tanzania (17.54%), and Uzbekistan (12.88%), while declines were seen in Honduras (-5.24%), Albania (-4.91%), and the British Virgin Islands (-4.75%). Over a five-year period, Bhutan displayed significant average growth, while countries like India and Kyrgyzstan experienced declines.
Future trends to watch include a continued increase in enrollment ratios in emerging regions like Cambodia and Uzbekistan. However, challenges remain in countries with declining ratios, which may need targeted interventions to reverse trends and enhance female access to preprimary education.
