Education in Haiti
DATASource-led profile
Source-led profile 路 Reference scope retained
Haiti's UNESCO-UNEVOC profile was updated in July 2026 and links the education system to the national 2020-2030 education and training plan. Recent indicator coverage remains uneven, so this page uses only clearly dated measures. Recent policy context and older statistical indicators are separated rather than presented as one current snapshot. The figures below are sourced from the authoritative references listed on this page.
Haiti education snapshot
Haiti's current profile contains a mixture of recent policy information and older statistical series, so the page does not pretend all indicators are from the same year.
Youth literacy rate
88.9%
Education spending
1.0% of GDP
Education spending share
13%
Sector plan
2020-2030
* Reference years and benchmark labels are shown with the figures.
How the education pathway works
The structural summary reflects MENFP's responsibility across general, technical and vocational education without adding unverified grade-duration claims.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-primary education | Early years | Pre-primary provision precedes the main school levels. |
| Primary education | School stage | Primary education is a distinct level in the Haitian education system. |
| Secondary education | After primary | Secondary education follows primary study. |
| Technical and vocational education | Skills route | MENFP responsibilities include technical and vocational education alongside general education. |
Key evidence
The literacy value is from 2017, the GDP spending measure from 2023 and the government-expenditure share from 2024.
| Indicator or rule | Value | Reference | Authority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Youth literacy rate | 88.9% | 2017 | Ages 15 to 24 |
| Education spending | 1.0% of GDP | 2023 | UIS indicator |
| Education spending share | 13% | 2024 | Share of total government expenditure |
| Sector plan | 2020-2030 | Current framework | Ten-year education and training plan |
* Reference years and benchmark labels are shown with the figures.
Reading the Haiti evidence
The ten-year plan is included because it is a current sector framework, not because it is a statistical outcome.
Older enrolment measures visible in international databases are deliberately omitted from the headline cards when they would add little current value.
