Country profile
Bermuda remains in the emerging-readiness range, with progress visible but major gaps still limiting future readiness. Its weakest results are in Innovation (34, 21st 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. Limited tertiary enrollment narrows future talent pipelines and innovation capacity.
Sparse R&D investment and a small research workforce slow experimentation and delay new ideas from reaching learners. Policy and regulatory teams coordinate effectively, offering stability for long-term planning. Gender parity across secondary pathways reflects sustained commitment to equitable participation.
School Access and Gender Parity and Human Capital present a near-term leapfrog opportunity: performance is just below the global average, backed by enough observed data to support forward planning.
Some indicators are imputed, so the profile should be read with moderate caution.
Key insights
Scores range from Governance (75.2) to Innovation (33.9), reflecting variation across dimensions.
Trails regional peers most clearly in Access & Parity.
