Country profile
Venezuela, RB remains in the emerging-readiness range, with progress visible but major gaps still limiting future readiness. Its weakest results are in Governance (13, 5th percentile). These gaps continue to weigh on overall readiness.
Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned.
Sparse R&D investment and a small research workforce slow experimentation and delay new ideas from reaching learners. Policy execution and regulatory capacity remain weak, leaving reforms fragmented and hard to sustain. Girls outperform boys in secondary pathways, adding pressure to address male dropout risks.
GEFRI Composite presents a near-term leapfrog opportunity: performance is just below the global average, backed by enough observed data to support forward planning.
Some indicators are imputed, so the profile should be read with moderate caution.
