How the education pathway works
The school-stage summary gives readers a simple route through the system while the dashboard figures describe the network as a whole.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-primary education | Early years | Pre-primary provision sits before the formal school sequence but is not broken into an unsupported national count here. |
| Primary education | School stage | Primary education forms the first main school stage within the Ministry system. |
| Lower and higher secondary | Secondary | Lower and higher secondary continue the school pathway after primary education. |
| Higher education and skills routes | Post-secondary | Higher education and skills development sit beyond the school network measured by the headline dashboard. |

How to read the Maldives evidence
The Ministry lists 219 schools exactly, but presents students and teachers with plus signs, signalling that those two figures are rounded thresholds.
Keeping the 23 May 2025 update date visible is more accurate than assigning these live-style dashboard values to an invented academic year.
