Education Policy

This sub-indicator assesses the extent to which there are solid institutions for basic, secondary, and tertiary education, as well as for research and development. It assesses whether education policy is successful in delivering high quality education and training, and research and development receive effective support from the government. It does not focus on expenditures alone, but also on the quality and competitiveness of the education system and the research sector, considering the structure of funding and knowledge providers (public, private and international cooperation), the output of the educational and developmental efforts, e.g. enrolment rates, literacy rates, percentage of people with higher education and number of patent applications.

    About Citizens’ Voices

    As citizens are the recipients of public leadership and governance, the assessment of governance performance of the IIAG is accompanied by the Citizens’ Voices dataset in an effort to contextualise the official and expert assessment data in the IIAG with the reality on the ground as perceived by citizens.

    MIF has been working with and supporting Afrobarometer, the leading pan-African research institution conducting public opinion surveys on the continent, and the 2022 IIAG framework gives these more prominence. Formerly scattered at various levels in the IIAG, citizens’ assessments of various governance components are now highlighted in a Citizens’ Voices section, providing a comprehensive 'reality check' to complement the IIAG results.

    This section mirrors the IIAG categories and provides public perception data on the closest proxies to the IIAG measures. However, whilst these measures are available to compare across the IIAG, it is important to note that their scores do not form part of the calculation for Overall Governance.
