Country profile
Bermuda shows progressing readiness, with important strengths but continued gaps across the system. Its weakest results are in Human Capital (54, 28th 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.
Innovation presents 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 Access & Parity (80.9) to Innovation (43.3), reflecting variation across dimensions.
Trails regional peers most clearly in Innovation.
