Country profile

San Marino performs close to the global average across all GEFRI dimensions. Progress is evident, yet stronger ambition is needed to reach futures readiness among global peers.

Uneven scores across dimensions highlight areas that need targeted coordination. High internet adoption enables broad participation in digital learning and innovation.

A large research workforce accelerates experimentation, technology adoption, and applied innovation. Policy and regulatory teams coordinate effectively, offering stability for long-term planning. Gender parity leans toward boys in secondary pathways, signalling persistent barriers for girls.

Human Capital presents a near-term leapfrog opportunity: performance is just below the global average, backed by enough observed data to support forward planning. Regionally, San Marino leads most clearly in Governance, sitting well above the peer average.

Note: Several indicators use imputed values. Policymakers and planners should validate results further before committing to major initiatives.

Key insights

  • Sits above the global median at the 79th percentile.
  • Scores range from Access & Parity (81.6) to Human Capital (47.0), reflecting variation across dimensions.
  • Leads regional peers most clearly in Governance.
