Country profile
Turkiye shows progressing readiness, with important strengths but continued gaps across the system. Its strongest results are in Human Capital (63, 90th 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 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.
Areas with room to grow: School Access and Gender Parity (77, 68th percentile), Infrastructure (67, 69th percentile) and Governance (39, 37th percentile). These dimensions sit close to global norms and could accelerate quickly with targeted investment.
