Country profile

Grenada 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. Strong tertiary enrollment expands future talent pipelines and strengthens national innovation potential.

Sparse R&D investment and a small research workforce slow experimentation and delay new ideas from reaching learners. Governance effectiveness is below global norms, affecting the stability of education reforms. Girls outperform boys in secondary pathways, adding pressure to address male dropout risks.

Regionally, Grenada leads most clearly in School Access and Gender Parity, sitting well above the peer average.

Note: Several indicators use imputed values. Policymakers and planners should validate results further before committing to major initiatives.

Key insights

  • Sits above the global median at the 60th percentile.
  • Scores range from Access & Parity (77.3) to Innovation (24.0), reflecting variation across dimensions.
  • Leads regional peers most clearly in Access & Parity.
