Russian Federation

Russian Federation shows progressing readiness, with important strengths but continued gaps across the system. Its strongest results are in Infrastructure (73, 93rd 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 execution and regulatory capacity remain weak, leaving reforms fragmented and hard to sustain. Gender parity across secondary pathways reflects sustained commitment to equitable participation.

Regionally, Governance lags peers the most, signalling where investment could have the highest impact.

Challenges: Governance (30, 19th percentile). Closing these gaps will be key to sustaining progress.

Areas with room to grow: Human Capital (54, 64th percentile). These dimensions sit close to global norms and could accelerate quickly with targeted investment.
