Education in Angola has six years of compulsory education, under the Angolan Education Law (13/01) of 31 December 2001.[2] Basic adult literacy continues to be low, but there are conflicting figures from government and other sources. It is difficult to assess literacy and education needs. According to 2015 estimates, the literacy rate in Angola is 71.1% (82% male and 60.7% female).[3] On the other hand, the university system has been developing considerably over the last decade.

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI)[4] finds that Angola achieved only 36.7% of what was possible at its income level to ensure that the right to education was being fulfilled, with such a score labeling the country's performance as being in the "very bad" range.[5] HRMI breaks down the right to education by looking at the rights to both primary education and secondary education. While taking into consideration Angola's income level, Angola is doing only 61.4% of what should be possible for primary education and only 12.0% for secondary education.[5]
