See which countries have been classed as most successful at offering the best education to their citizens according to this article.
The Social Progress Imperative has compiled research on basic education levels throughout the world and presented it via the Social Progress Index; this offers a rigorous and comprehensive way of measuring social progress, including – and most relevant for our current interests – a score for a country’s level of access to basic knowledge including factors like adult literacy rate, primary school enrolment, secondary school enrolment, and women’s mean years in school.
These components determine which countries offer better educational opportunities. We’ve compiled the list of the ten best-performing countries when it comes to access to basic education, according to research from the United Nations as brought together in the SPI basic education ratings:
Read on to find out how and why these ten countries are so well-educated.
Not sure about the Social Progress Imperative accuracy, but I do enjoy checking out links that are not status quo.
Fascinating collection of “facts” about education systems in various countries I know little about. Not that this allows us to proceed to grand assumptions about what is actually going on with education in “real life”.
It’s hard for us to get a sense of what educational systems are accomplishing in the county, much less our country as a whole, or the entire world, so as you say, kudos to SPI bravado for at least trying. As we know from being baseball fans, and other situations, there’s lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Another thing they could try, is to have the person with the best english on staff do the reports. One might wonder which countries’ education supplied their probably ESL skills?
Let’s hope it wasn’t provided in US…
More fractured “world english”…
