Country profile
Liechtenstein shows progressing readiness, with important strengths but continued gaps across the system. Its strongest results are in Governance (85, 94th percentile) and Infrastructure (73, 92nd percentile).
Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned. High internet adoption enables broad participation in digital learning and innovation.
Strong R&D funding and a sizable research workforce keep the innovation pipeline active, supporting the system’s capacity to adapt. Policy and regulatory teams coordinate effectively, keeping reforms aligned and providing the stability needed for long-term educational planning. Gender parity leans toward boys in secondary pathways, signalling persistent barriers for girls.
Regionally, Liechtenstein leads most clearly in Governance, sitting well above the peer average.
Areas with room to grow: School Access and Gender Parity (56, 50th percentile). These dimensions sit close to global norms and could accelerate quickly with targeted investment.
Some indicators are imputed, so the profile should be read with moderate caution.
