Country profile
Sint Maarten (Dutch part) remains in the emerging-readiness range, with progress visible but major gaps still limiting future readiness. Most dimension scores sit close to global norms, without a single dimension standing far above the rest.
Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned. High internet adoption enables broad participation in digital learning and innovation. Limited tertiary enrollment narrows future talent pipelines and innovation capacity.
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.
Many indicators are imputed, so the profile should be treated as a limited signal rather than a complete measurement.
Key insights
Scores range from Infrastructure (85.0) to Innovation (40.1), reflecting variation across dimensions.
