The education system in Albania has produced approximately 82,600 graduates at all levels of education during the 2024-2025 academic year. Data published by the Institute of Statistics show that pupils and students from 9-year education, secondary education and higher education have completed their studies, while a slight decrease in graduations in pre-university education is noted compared to the previous year.

According to statistics, 33.5% of graduates belong to 9-year education, 31.4% to secondary education and about 35% to higher education. In total, graduations in pre-university education have decreased by 1.5% compared to the previous year, reflecting demographic changes and movements in the education system.

In 9-year education, the majority of graduates are male, who constitute 52.1% of the total. Also, the vast majority of students graduated from public educational institutions, with 89.3% of the total, which shows that the public system continues to hold the main weight of basic education in the country.

At this educational level, girls make up the majority of graduates with 51%. Meanwhile, vocational education accounts for 12.3% of total secondary education graduations, where males dominate with 84.3% of graduates. This shows that boys continue to be more oriented towards professional and technical branches.

On the other hand, higher education has seen growth. During the 2024-2025 academic year, approximately 28,900 students graduated, or 2.6% more than the previous year. The figures show a continued interest in undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

Over half of the students, specifically 50.6%, have graduated from Bachelor's programs, while 43.4% have completed Master's programs. Women also dominate in higher education, as 65.3% of graduates are girls and women. The majority of students, about 66.6%, have completed their studies at public universities.

As for the most preferred majors, the field of “Business, Administration and Law” remains the main choice of Albanian students, where 23.3% of the total number of students graduated. In second place is the field of “Health and Welfare” with 22.4%, while “Engineering, Manufacturing and Construction” accounts for 14% of higher education graduations.
