In Tokelau, adult literacy in 2022 (closest available) stood at 100.0%, reflecting effectively universal literacy. The out-of-school rate in 2025 was 63.7%, a figure hard to square with near-universal adult literacy and more likely a gap in enrolment reporting than a real collapse in access. The pupil-teacher ratio in 2025 was 10:1, pointing to small class sizes. 10.2% of adults held a bachelor's degree or higher in 2016 (closest available), a still-developing higher education base.
