Rwanda

Rwanda faces substantial readiness constraints across core dimensions. Its weakest results are in Infrastructure (37, 20th percentile), GEFRI Composite (35, 28th percentile) and Human Capital (34, 21st percentile). These gaps continue to weigh on overall readiness.

Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned. 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. Girls outperform boys in secondary pathways, adding pressure to address male dropout risks.

Regionally, Rwanda leads most clearly in Governance, sitting well above the peer average.
