Skills development

Skills Development represents the training and education activities of the country and the immediate outputs of that system in terms of the skills developed and attained. Sub-pillars are included to distinguish compulsory education, and other education and training (lifelong learning) activities. The basic education sub-pillar comprises 3 indicators to measure quality, participation and achievement in compulsory education: pre-primary pupil-to-teacher ratio; share of population aged 15-64 with at least upper secondary education; and reading, maths & science scores (aged 15). The training and other education sub-pillar comprises 3 indicators to measure participation and achievement in lifelong learning activities: participation in recent training; participation in VET; and achievement of high digital skills.
