Where does Venezuela stand on Learning?
This page reads one capability from the published data and is recomputed with every release. It separates what Venezuela does, which makes the score, from what the country has, which sits beside the score, and places the country among the 10 countries at the nearest income. The text describes the data and recommends no policy.
The World Bank publishes no GDP per capita for Venezuela, so the page forms no peer set and draws no comparison.
What does the score rest on?
No score in this release. Observed indicators: 1, under the minimum the model needs to form a mean.
The Learning score is the equal-weight mean of the positions of one indicators on a 0 to 100 scale that every country sets together. Confidence measures the evidence behind the score and sits beside it as a second number.
The Learning score tracks GDP per capita at r = 0.71 across 123 countries.

What Venezuela has to work with
Beside each condition, two r values read every country at once, one against income and one against the capability score. Where the r with income is much higher than the r with the score, having the condition goes with being rich more than with the capability measured.
Conditions, not scored
What the country has to work with on this capability. The values are shown as the source published them and are not part of the score, the confidence or the trend. The rank counts the countries with a value, best first.
Tertiary enrolmentWorld Bank (SE.TER.ENRR), 2009
78.3 % gross, rank 27 of 124. Gross enrolment ratio in tertiary education.
The value is from 2009, more than 15 years old.
A condition, not scored: enrolment counts people in formal education and records nothing learned (D122).
- r with income: 0.82 (122 countries)
- r with the Learning score: 0.62 (122 countries)
Public education expenditureWorld Bank (SE.XPD.TOTL.GD.ZS), 2009
6.9 % of GDP, rank 6 of 125. Government expenditure on education as a share of GDP.
The value is from 2009, more than 15 years old.
A condition, not scored: public spending on education is a pure input, and learning is what the dimension asks about (D122).
- r with income: 0.31 (123 countries)
- r with the Learning score: 0.29 (123 countries)
Vocational share of secondaryWorld Bank (SE.SEC.ENRL.VO.ZS), 2017
5.4 % of secondary, rank 90 of 125. Vocational pupils as a share of total secondary enrolment.
A condition, not scored: the share of secondary pupils on a vocational track describes how a school system is built, not what anyone learns in it, and higher is not unambiguously better (D141). It marks a route into skilled work that does not run through university. Learning reads research citation impact, firm training and the human capital index instead.
- r with income: 0.5 (123 countries)
- r with the Learning score: 0.39 (123 countries)
Where does Venezuela sit among its peers?
The World Bank publishes no GDP per capita for Venezuela, so the page forms no peer set and draws no comparison.
What this reading does not show
- A national score is a coarse proxy. A capability forms in firms, cities, networks and groups below the level of the country, and a national average only describes the conditions they work in.
- Peers share income and nothing else. Size, production structure, region and political regime are outside the rule, and a set of 10 countries can change with any revision to GDP.
- An r reads the whole set at once and says nothing about one country alone. A correlation does not show a cause either.
- The known artefacts that bear on Learning, described on the limits page: artefact A7.
- And the ones every score in the benchmark carries: artefact A8, artefact A10.
