Kenya ranks top among African countries in the education sector according to the latest Global Innovation Index ranking report
Kenya ranks top among African countries in the education sector according to the latest Global Innovation Index ranking report.
Following investments in four additional sectors that are crucial to successful administration, including education, Kenya ranked among the top five African nations in the most recent Global Innovation Index ranking.
Kenya remained placed 88th internationally despite a three-point drop from the 2021 rating as investments in education were recognized as a major asset for the country.
The government’s expenditure in the education sector also saw Kenya positioned 48th in the global ranking for that category.
Kenya placed fifth in Africa on the World Intellectual Property Organization’s (WIPO) 2022 index, behind Botswana, South Africa, Morocco, and Mauritius.
On the other side, Switzerland came out on top globally, followed by the US, Sweden, the UK, and the Netherlands.

“Kenya scores above its income group in institutions, business sophistication, knowledge and technology outputs, and creative outputs,” read the statement in part.
The 2022 rating took into account productivity growth together with other economic difficulties and analyzed the most recent global innovation trends.
Pupil-to-teacher ratios in secondary schools, enrollment in higher institutions, and university performance in various rankings were some of the problems identified in the industry.
Market investments, payments for intellectual property, imports of advanced technology, and increases in labor productivity were among Kenya’s other strong points.
“Several developing economies are performing above expectations on innovation relative to their level of economic development.
“India, Kenya, the Republic of Moldova, and Vietnam hold the record by outperforming for the 12th year in a row,” added the report.
On the other hand, applied tariff rates in trade, electricity output, and the import of ICT services were some of the weaknesses identified in 2022.
