Iran is lower than expected considering they have fields medal winners, an extremely large number of engineering grads and are considered a regional industrial power second to Turkey.

why is Iraq still so low? I thought they(especially the North which wasn’t hit as hard with isis war) were doing alright ? are they not investing in education or something ?

I find it hard to believe Israel is in the green, maybe in comparison to the others in the region

Is this counting non-citizen residents? Some of these countries like to ignore 60% of their population

Jordan feels way higher than egypt, the wages are much higher and Egyptians come to work as Janitors and in construction for very low wages
The education is way better, having the lowest illiterate rate in the Arab world
And the health sector is way better, Egypt didn’t eliminate malaria until recently

Germany believes it gets skilled workers from Syria through uncontrolled immigration. 😬

This seems quite strongly reverse-correlated to the amount of money spent by the US to attack/embargo/destabilize the country

All Fales probably based on 1 city or 2 and not the rest of the countries

As Egyptian, I refuse to believe that the level of education in Egypt is lower than that of the gulf countries.

No way Saudi and UAE are more educated than Jordan or the West Bank, does this include migrants or is it citizens only?

Where are these scores in the report? [https://hdr.undp.org/system/files/documents/global-report-document/hdr2025reporten.pdf](https://hdr.undp.org/system/files/documents/global-report-document/hdr2025reporten.pdf) Table 1 page 274 has education years you mention, but that HDI doesn’t seem to align with what’s on the map. Like I don’t see any table that has a score of 0.856 for Saudi Arabia in any column.

I’ve worked in:
Saudi.
Egypt.
Iran.
Bahrain.
I did tech support for manufacturing plants.
The best engineers and most self reliant were Iranians. Never took a visit that wasn’t technically tricky.
Then a huge drop to Saudi and Bahrain. They didn’t do anything but employ Asian engineers and manage them. They didn’t think much of the engineers they employed and called me up all the time, didn’t care about expense.
Egypt was chaos. The education system is terrible, everything is learned by rote, thinking isn’t encouraged.
It is very easy to bribe your way through university. The best ones are educated abroad. I was always there.

Surprised by Qatar being so low.
