Yearly data from 1971 to 2022, from the World Bank.
Suriname's school enrollment, secondary, male (% gross) was 77.95% in 2022, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 18.52 percentage points from 59.44% in 2012.
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 77.95% | 2022 |
| Ten years earlier | 59.44% | 2012 |
| Highest | 77.95% | 2022 |
| Lowest | 28.64% | 1972 |
| Average since 2013 | 63.35% | 2013–2022 |
| First recorded | 30.64% | 1971 |
Since 1971 it is up 47.31 percentage points from 30.64% in 1971. The World Bank has no value for 18 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
In 2022, Suriname's school enrollment, secondary, male (% gross) rose 17.27 percentage points on 2021 (from 60.69% to 77.95%).
Across the 27 yearly changes before that (1972 to 2021), the average change was +0.13 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 2.83 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 6.0 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 17.27 percentage points in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 7.67 percentage points in 1993. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

Gross enrollment ratio is the ratio of total enrollment, regardless of age, to the population of the age group that officially corresponds to the level of education shown. Secondary education completes the provision of basic education that began at the primary level, and aims at laying the foundations for lifelong learning and human development, by offering more subject- or skill-oriented instruction using more specialized teachers.
Limitations: Enrollment indicators are based on annual school surveys, but do not necessarily reflect actual attendance or dropout rates during the year. Also, the length of education differs across countries and can influence enrollment rates, although the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) tries to minimize the difference. For example, a shorter duration for primary education tends to increase the rate; a longer one to decrease it (in part because older children are more at risk of dropping out). Moreover, age at enrollment may be inaccurately estimated or misstated, especially in communities where registration of births is not strictly enforced.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
