Implementing educational policies and distributing financial resources based on real needs could be done in a high-quality manner without access to statistical data from the field of education. Changes in, for example, the number of enrolled pupils and students can most certainly be an indicator of demographic trends such as the aging of the population or more intensive migration. In addition, these data are also important for the labour market because they contribute to the assessment of needs and provide valuable information that should be used to adjust educational programs to the actual situation in the labour market.
If we observe a five-year period, the number of pupils who completed basic school increased, except at the end of the school year 2024/2025, when a slight decrease was recorded. The share of female pupils in the total number of pupils who completed basic school slightly decreased, from 49.3% at the end of the school year 2023/2024 to 48.3% at the end of the school year 2024/2025.
The total number of students who graduated from upper secondary school has been in slight decline since 2023.
In 2025, 9 093 students completed professional studies, while 22 342 completed university studies. The share of female students in university study was higher compared to their share in professional study and it amounted to 61.8%.
In 2025, 705 university specialists obtained their academic titles. Out of those 705, 444 were women, who constituted 63.0% of the total number of university specialists. In the same year, 800 doctors of science or doctors of art obtained their academic titles, and women predominated in their total number (57.9%).
In the 2025/2026 academic year, there were 19 471 members of academic staff working at institutions of higher education on an employment contract or a contractual agreement basis. In the academic year 2025/2026, there has been a mild 0.4% increase in the number of female teachers and teaching associates at institutions of higher education compared to the academic year 2024/2025.
