There is always a great deal made about education and where a country ranks internationally. People want to know where their kids stand in the world and if their hard-earned tax dollars being spent well or not. In this article, let’s take a look at some of the top countries in the world as far as education ranking is concerned.
1. Denmark
This millennia old country has had many hundreds of years to establish their infrastructure and create an excellent education system for their youth. Recently, US News & World Report ranked them #1 in the world and their earning per capita ($76K+) seems to reflect that it is paying off.
2. Sweden
I’m starting to see a theme. Old, peaceful European countries seem to have the best education systems. It’s like the goldilocks of the world as far as conditions for a great education apparently.
3. United Kingdom
The island all to itself is #3 in the world in top education. They offer a variety of early education system options including military schools which help young men to prepare for either a career in the services or at least master self-discipline to use in their own civilian lives.
4. Finland
Big surprise, right? Another Norse country at the top of the list. Peace prosperity and a homogenous society have allowed Finland to create an extremely efficient education system.
5. Germany
Since the country unified almost 35 years ago, it has been a leader is assembling a sound and proper education. Germans are known for their precision engineering and it is quite possible the groundwork for that is laid in grade school education.
Education the next generation should always be a top priority for parents and leaders alike. After all, the fate of every nation and the world as a whole depends on the quality of the individuals who will be running it.
