How the education pathway works
The system map stays broad because the headline evidence is statistical rather than a current national administrative school census.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Primary education | Primary | Primary education is the first main formal school stage. |
| Secondary education | Secondary | Secondary education follows the primary stage. |
| TVET pathways | Technical and vocational | Technical and vocational programmes provide skills-focused routes. |
| Higher education | Tertiary | Tertiary education includes study after secondary education. |
Key evidence
The four cards deliberately span different reference years, so every year remains visible beside its measure.
| Measure | Value | Year | Scope |

| Upper-secondary completion | 25.6% | 2023 | Population age 25+ |
| Education participation | 16.1% | 2014 | Ages 15 to 64 |
| Youth participation | 38.5% | 2014 | Ages 15 to 24 |
| Tertiary gross enrolment | 8.8% | 2011 | Tertiary education |

How to read the Yemen evidence
The 25.6% value is an attainment measure for adults age 25 and over, not an upper-secondary enrolment rate.
The 16.1% and 38.5% participation values use different age groups, while 8.8% is a tertiary gross enrolment ratio.
