Country profile
Dominica trails global peers in Innovation (24, 8th percentile). A coordinated reform effort is needed to strengthen education futures readiness.
Uneven scores across dimensions highlight areas that need targeted coordination.
Sparse R&D investment and a small research workforce slow experimentation and delay new ideas from reaching learners. Gender parity across secondary pathways reflects sustained commitment to equitable participation.
Note: Several indicators use imputed values. Policymakers and planners should validate results further before committing to major initiatives.
Key insights
- Scores range from Infrastructure (68.8) to Innovation (23.9), reflecting variation across dimensions.
- Leads regional peers most clearly in Governance.
