Education Index™

Learning quality, attainment and access to education.

Source World Bank WDI + Human Capital Index (CC-BY). Note: the heaviest pillar, harmonised learning outcomes (HD.HCI.HLOS, 28%), rests on 2020 data — the World Bank has not updated the Human Capital Index since 21 Sep 2020.Version 2026-09-14Coverage 191 countries

Version means the index release date, not a single observation year. Component indicators use their latest available observations, which can refer to different years.

Harmonized learning outcomes and expected years of school from the World Bank Human Capital Index retain the 2020 reference year; no newer observations are available in these series.

What this index measures

Why it matters

It reflects outcomes, duration and access conditions across the education system.

Method

Min–max normalised to a scale of 0–100 against the same country list (ISO 3166-1), source: World Bank WDI + Human Capital Index (CC-BY). Note: the heaviest pillar, harmonised learning outcomes (HD.HCI.HLOS, 28%), rests on 2020 data — the World Bank has not updated the Human Capital Index since 21 Sep 2020.. See Methodology.
