Composite GEFRI Score
Critically unprepared
Haiti shows critically low readiness to meet the challenges and opportunities of education in a rapidly changing world (8th percentile worldwide). Core capabilities are weak across most dimensions, and essential systems face significant constraints. Higher scores indicate a system that is better prepared to anticipate and shape the future of learning.

Country profile
Haiti trails global peers in Human Capital (31, 19th percentile), Infrastructure (30, 13th percentile), GEFRI Composite (23, 8th percentile), Governance (16, 7th percentile), and School Access and Gender Parity (0, 8th percentile). A coordinated reform effort is needed to strengthen education futures readiness.
Uneven scores across dimensions highlight areas that need targeted coordination. Limited electricity or internet coverage still constrains classrooms, preventing large-scale digital instruction. Literacy or tertiary enrollment gaps thin the talent pipeline and limit the country’s capacity to develop future-ready skills.
Sparse R&D investment and a small research workforce slow experimentation and delay new ideas from reaching learners. 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.
Note: Because many indicators are imputed, these findings should be treated as provisional until more reported data arrives.
