The Data Pandas service, specializing in comprehensive collection and analysis of global data, has released a ranking of countries with the highest levels of education among their populations. This indicator is considered a key factor in the prosperity and development of a given nation. The educational systems of each country vary in teaching methods and resources dedicated to their maintenance and enhancement. To ensure the accuracy of such ranked lists, the United Nations has devised the Education Index, which includes the adult literacy rate and the combined gross enrollment ratio. Thus, an assessment is made based on the gathered data, with a maximum score of one.
For better visualization, each country has been illustrated with a notable representative. Let’s take a look at the top ten.
