Country profile
Belarus remains in the emerging-readiness range, with progress visible but major gaps still limiting future readiness. Its weakest results are in Governance (27, 16th percentile). These gaps continue to weigh on overall readiness.
Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned. High internet adoption enables broad participation in digital learning and innovation. Strong tertiary enrollment expands future talent pipelines and strengthens national innovation potential.
R&D investment remains modest, affecting long-term innovation potential. 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, Governance lags peers the most, signalling where investment could have the highest impact.
