What Are the Most Educated Countries in the World?

[dexter]

New job opportunities. Higher wages. New perspectives, ideas, and ways of life.These are just some of the benefits to having access to higher education. And most people agree that this can change the trajectory of your life. As the demographics, economies, and prioritization of higher education shift, so will the most educated countries in the world. And as we’ve seen in some of these countries, having high education rates don’t always translate into higher wages and better job opportunities. So, what are the top 5 most educated countries in the world today? You might be surprised by who makes it onto the list.

1. Canada 2. Japan 3. Israel 4. South Korea 5. USA

We’ll be using data from 2017 compiled by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) which calculates the percentage of a given country’s population between the age of 25-64 years old who have completed higher education programs: which include 2-year and 4-year programs, as well as vocational schools.

Hats Off to Israel and S. Korea.
They rose from Ashes.

 

[Indus Pakistan]

Well, may I put forward Pakistan? The greatest education on Islam is found in Pakistan.

Japan, Germany or Canada, maybe.

The US among most educated??? Their vice-president candidate thought France was in Asia not long time ago. Their education quality is even worse than Vietnam, judging by PISA test, by a big gap. Hardly a highly educated countries. On average, worse than China.

I do not know what the criteria for "most educated" here are, but if I can choose, certainly South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, and then, possibly Germany, Canada, Australia.

Both the US or Britain are hardly be considered "Most educated". Comparable to China or Russia as best. Italy, never think of as a well-educated country, let alone "most educated". Comparable to Malaysia.
