Global education futures readiness score distribution

The histogram shows where country scores cluster and where they thin out. It helps show whether most countries sit near the middle of the scale or farther toward the low and high ends.

Regional insights

This chart shows where each region stands relative to the world average, the 75-point advanced-readiness threshold, and the 90-point GEFRI target.

Hover or focus to view description

Global mean for the selected component.

Advanced readiness threshold of 75.

GEFRI target of 90.

A regional average can hide large differences among countries. The interquartile range, or IQR, shows how widely the middle half of country scores are spread.

Dispersion is not shown for regions with fewer than four valid countries.

Fragility and conflict-affected states

The key question here is how far countries affected by fragility and conflict sit from other countries, and whether that distance is concentrated in particular dimensions.

Data coverage for variability is incomplete, so interpret the gap cautiously. Conditions in FCS contexts can shift quickly, and data refreshes may lag real-world events.

A single score can hide large internal gaps

A country may appear moderately ready overall while performing very differently across the five GEFRI dimensions. To reveal those differences, we compare each country’s strongest dimension with its weakest.

Typical internal gap

— points

Between the strongest and weakest dimension

Countries with a large gap

0.0%

Have a difference of 30 points or more

0.0% of countries have a gap of at least 30 points between their strongest and weakest dimensions. 0.0% have a gap of 40 points or more. This means that an overall GEFRI score can hide important strengths and weaknesses within a country's education system.

A smaller gap does not always mean stronger readiness. A country may perform consistently well across all five dimensions, or consistently poorly.

These are descriptive groupings, not formal GEFRI readiness levels.

How readiness dimensions relate

The question here is whether countries that score well in one dimension also tend to score well in another.
