What a Surprise! | Best Countries for Education
Looking to study as an international student or moving abroad with children? We are not surprised: the value of a good education is widely accepted around the world. Taking your studies abroad will open you up to a whole range of new experiences, allowing you to see the world while furthering your career prospects. But what are the best countries for education?
To help you make a choice, we’ve ranked the best countries in the world for education, considering all sort of factors for each country: who participates in education, what is spent on it, tuitions fees for international students, how education systems operate and the results achieved. Not to worry though, because the ten countries that make the grade all boast wonderful state education systems that tax-paying expats can take advantage of. With that said, let’s jump right in to the best countries in the world for education in 2021…
What makes these places the best countries for education in the world?
Education levels vary between countries around the world. In general, people in underdeveloped and undeveloped countries do not have access to quality education or education at all. Those in developed nations have higher literacy rates and at least a basic high school education. It’s widely known that people who have access to quality education are more likely to be gainfully employed and be productive citizens.
We’ve ranked the top 10 countries in the world for education, according to data from the Organisation for Economic Co-ordination and Development (OECD) and other sources. These rankings are for state (public) education only. They provide data on the structure, finances and performance of education systems across OECD countries and a number of partner economies. We also marked countries that have tuition-free universities. Most countries offer private education, including international schools. However, since these are usually private businesses, there’s no easy way to rank them, hence we haven’t included them on this list.
