Country profile

Monaco shows progressing readiness, with important strengths but continued gaps across the system. Its strongest results are in Governance (81, 90th percentile) and Human Capital (64, 91st percentile).

Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned. High internet adoption enables broad participation in digital learning and innovation. Strong tertiary enrollment expands future talent pipelines and strengthens national innovation potential.

A large research workforce accelerates experimentation, technology adoption, and applied innovation. Policy and regulatory teams coordinate effectively, keeping reforms aligned and providing the stability needed for long-term educational planning. Gender parity across secondary pathways reflects sustained commitment to equitable participation.

Areas with room to grow: School Access and Gender Parity (49, 48th percentile) and Innovation (47, 59th 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.
