Country profile

St. Martin (French part) trails global peers in Innovation (30, 26th percentile). A coordinated reform effort is needed to strengthen education futures readiness.

Wide gaps between dimensions reveal structural weaknesses that slow coordinated progress. High internet adoption enables broad participation in digital learning and innovation.

Sparse R&D investment and a small research workforce slow experimentation and delay new ideas from reaching learners. Girls outperform boys in secondary pathways, adding pressure to address male dropout risks.

Note: Because many indicators are imputed, these findings should be treated as provisional until more reported data arrives.

Key insights

  • Scores range from Infrastructure (71.8) to Access & Parity (18.9), reflecting variation across dimensions.
  • Trails regional peers most clearly in Access & Parity.
