A Department of Planning and Statistics report shows a steady increase in the number of highly educated employees, with a 1.10 per cent rise in those holding higher or technical qualifications between 2019 and 2024.

However, of the 63,970 government employees working across departments, autonomous bodies, aided institutions, and public sector undertakings, 50.01 per cent have completed schooling only up to Class 1-12 — a sign of the continued reliance on personnel with basic education for routine administrative and service functions.
