Angola

Angola faces substantial readiness constraints across core dimensions. Its weakest results are in Human Capital (43, 17th percentile), Infrastructure (42, 12th percentile), GEFRI Composite (32, 13th percentile), Governance (31, 27th percentile), Innovation (27, 12th percentile) and School Access and Gender Parity (17, 15th percentile). These gaps continue to weigh on overall readiness.

Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned. Limited electricity or internet coverage still constrains classrooms, preventing large-scale digital instruction. Literacy or tertiary enrollment gaps thin the talent pipeline and limit the country’s capacity to develop future-ready skills.

Sparse R&D investment and a small research workforce slow experimentation and delay new ideas from reaching learners. Policy execution and regulatory capacity remain weak, leaving reforms fragmented and hard to sustain. Gender parity across secondary pathways reflects sustained commitment to equitable participation.

Regionally, School Access and Gender Parity lags peers the most, signalling where investment could have the highest impact.
