I know some reports have German and Russian schools, thesis help but still US schools dominate. And in this country, our democracy allows students to quit school early to do necessary jobs (farming, plumbing, mechanics...) coursework that don't require 13 years of school. |

There are just as many people held back in the north. and where did you get 12 hours from i spend around 7 hours at school (not counting after school baseball practice) and me and my friends and 97% of the other students can read great and know exactly what its saying, so crawl out from under your rock and learn about a place before you begin talking about it |

This is subjective information! After the numerous sociology, history, culture and society courses I have taken at DeVry University.... there are other factors that should be taken into consideration.
For example: More people in this country go to school than this country.... that may be true but look at the other fact. Not everyone has access to education. Universities and colleges a like charge such high tuition rates that many people cannot afford it. So in the aspects based on who goes to higher education... that figure is so skewed. School life expectancy really can't be measured because there are so many variables that you would have to taken into consideration such as family values for families who feel a child should work instead of go to school, tuition rates for universities and many other variables. |

i am rather shocked that singapore is no where to be seen in the statistics. we have a literacy rate of almost 100% and if u are talking about school life expectancy, an average singaporean would have gone thru kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and poly or JC which will total to at least 15+ so please consider including singapore because it is quite insulting that we are not even considered in the top 100 for most educated countries. thankyou (: |

If you are bashing the U.S. education system and you've never lived in the U.S., what do you care? Not everybody in America is ignorant of other nations. As for those in the U.S. that want more education, then do something about it. There are such things as actually educating your yourself, instead of waiting for someone else to do it! And for the countries that have a highly educated population, Good for you, and keep up the good work! |

My opinion on this matter that people are not all equal, there for it means that we are not all capable at activities which consists certan other parts of activities or projects that one person is capaple compared to another which may not be such as capable to do that activity.
This includes education, which is a main priority in some countries as you should have seen on the chart about Education as a title.
I believe that a so called "illiterate" has just as much potential than a person that can read and can write as well. Considering the fact that yes, they may be in University which i find that very difficult to believe, but yes it seems to be true on some accounts. That may have just been with luck. Who loses in that situation? where one is from a different country and is not offered so much support as a person in there own country and that person in there own home land which cannot apparantley read or write, is frustrationg to the other from another country is farely understood. Some people might just have to move countries to figure out what the problem with their society, or maybe that person does not need to be able to read to learn, they can visualise the information recieved and store it. Where people whom are capable of using that part of the brain that is capable of writing down information because of the concentration level on that side of the activity is able to put their information down on paper and is able or maybe not able to store it in their memory block. Making them smarter or not. It is up to the person themselves to know their own level of capabilities and what strength they have to use on that side of their life if they chose. I am not saying that they should go ahead and move to a different part of the world I am just saying tat one is never the same as the other and that is why it is such a challenge for both to understand one another. Maybe the circumstances is unfair, but that maybe for the "illiterate" just as much as the none "illiterate" It does not differ. THAT LAST SENTENCE IS MY OPINION SO DO NOT USE IT AGAINST MY EXCPENCE PLEASE!!! |

The Indian Constitution does have legal descriptions for minimum academic qualifications. However, as we all know -- Indians, irrespective of their location, instinctively develop the habit of breaking the government laws. Therefore, we have the highest number of properly-qualified Masters in Arts, Science and just every field. But we also have slackers who can't pass 10th grade -- completely irrespective of what the law really means. |

International standardized tests are poor indicators of a country's intelligence.
I've noticed something similar since moving from America to Korea. Most Koreans know massive amounts of facts, but can't understand or analyze things on their own. Their K-12 system focuses on rote memorization so they can pass standardized tests to get into college. Because of this they become great at math and science (things that can be tested), but are terrible at independent thinking because it isn't encouraged. Once they get into college they kick back and relax, and put less effort into it than high school students.
Most students I speak to here say they would love it if Korea adopted a Western education system. |

For the US to think of itself as a world leader is shameful when one considers its global ranking in education. The US is no longer Jefferson's agrarian society, and not the industrial powerhouse that it once was, and is now limited to service and information based job market but with an education system that doesn't reflect this. Sweeping reform in education, with an emphasis in quality and equal opportunity, is needed for the US to maintain its status as a world player. |

The Newsweek article likely mentioned a test of discrete, easily tested items, like mathematics, science, etc. Unfortunately, these tests do not measure learner autonomy (whether students can learn what interests them on their own), creativity, or problem-solving skills like those faced in the real world. While students in Japan and Korea (the only countries I've taught in outside of the U.S.) may be better than many at these kinds of tests, they do not learn to learn, to be creative, or to solve problems. |

In reponse to that... In Thornhill (above Toronto), we don't learn calculus until GR 12!! I'm in gr 9 right now and I want to learn stuff faster, it's really boring learning the same thing over and over again from gr.8 (btw, I'm in an academic course) Just recently, the government actually lower the curriculum for gr.9 math! |

In the southern USA we have students who spends 12 years in school and still can't read. They are passed along because of age. Many can't spell or understand what they read. The number of years served in a school system doesn't mean the country is smarter. It really depends on whether or not the students are learning; It depends on whether they understand . We can all memorize things, but it is the understanding that counts. If we can't read , we depend on others to read for us. If we can't understand what we read or understand events, how to come to a conclusion and understand results, then what have we learned? Sure ,we have some very (smart)educated people, but we have some very dumb (educated) people also. More education does not mean more knowledge. Understanding what we are being taught measures our knowledge. |

While I agree with patriotism, one should be aware that of the many great universities in the US, there are many bad ones. Further the student loan program versus that in Europe and Australia, even Cuba and some Asian country is quite bad. It results in the rich being able to afford studying while the poor drop out. I find it quite interesting the Von believes that people have a real choice as to education even in the US. |

I live and teach college level in Germany. Some German students make snide remarks about the USA. When asked basic questions, such as to name the Capital of the USA, many say NYC. Also, I recently viewed an online video in which students are asked to draw the former east-west boundary on an outline map of Germany. None were able to do so. Many Germans are in college because it is tuition-free and really have no interest in learning. I learned more about European history in my NJ high school than most here in Germany.
Even the German Minister of the Environment thinks the recent hurricane activity is caused by "global warming"! Quite sad, such ignorance. |

These statistics may show how many years of schooling etc but I think the title of the statistic "most educated" is misleading. For example, a recent report in Newsweek Magazine showed that in transnational standardized testing scores the highest scoring nations were as follows:
1) Finland 2) South Korea 3) Taiwan 4) Hong Kong 5) Japan 6) Singapore 7) Czech Republic
Meanwhile the United States placed at 54th, behind much of Asia and the European Union. |

I did my tertiary education in Australia, and I'm extremely surprised that Australia was the third highest country in terms of education. In terms of access to education, yes many students do get it. However, the actual education that is provided at (public) schools there is preposterous. I have known Australians who weren't even taught their times tables at school, who didn't learn how to write essays properly (one girl at university actually wrote 'the end' at the end of her paper), and others who said "who's Kofi Annan?” This was apparently at one of Australia’s most prestigious universities, and the Annan comment came from a girl attempting a politics class (I don't think she made passed that class).
I realize that my experiences don't count for the entire nation, but on the whole my jaw dropped when I realized that many local university students in my classes couldn't even get their act together for the simplest assignments. I was an international student and have experienced the negativity international students get from many local students first hand.
To Hudson therefore, I suggest that when you go to University, you think really carefully about why it is international students work extremely hard when studying in your beautiful country. I'll give you a head start: 1) We work extremely hard to get into your system due to our foreign education results, 2) We have to pay a lot of money to be able to attend your universities due to higher fees, 3) We don't get any benefits like student fees for public transportation which local students do, and 4) We don't have our parents to back us up in terms of living at home, etc.
So yes, you're right, international students (in general of course) might be more studious than the local population of students attending either school or university. But we still have fun enjoying and exploring the amazing country that is Australia. However, whilst I know that we DO actually know how to have fun (and no that does not include having to get wasted every day of the week which is what too many people seem to think university is for), most international students took their studies seriously. We didn’t spend a fortune just to go to the beach everyday, and we certainly all had to pay a damn lot of attention in high school and make something out of ourselves to get where we are today.
It’s mostly students from small towns in Australia who hold our international backgrounds and high priorities for getting high-quality education that gave us international students a hard time. I find your comment somewhat inconsiderate and not thought out well enough; you’re in year 11, you really should know better. |

"You can get a just as good education in a public school, as a private school. Its just public schools are labelled as a place the poor (because they dont have an annual fee) kids attend which doesnt sit so well with Ol' Mum and Dad."
That statement is completely ignorant of the worldwide statistics, which show that higher levels of private and home schooling lead to higher levels of education.
Schooling is yet another thing that the public sector can not accomplish as well as the private sector; if the State doesn't accomplish the goal, then too bad, because there's no alternative to the State. But if one private school doesn't meet your expectations, you can take your child to another one. |

When a country provides low-cost or free education, whether it be a college or university, you will see that more people would attend. In the United States, Califoria to be exact, the average cost of a private university per year is $30,000. There are also other factors as well that play a role in the number of college and university atendees. |

I would like to agree with Svest above and say that 'Most educated' is a very bad link title. Quality of education has to be a factor, and the fact that US universities are considered the best in the world doesn't factor into this (only Cambridge, Oxford, and Tokyo U. are non-US and consistently in the top 20 of reports I've read). I know some reports have German and Russian schools, but still US schools dominate. And in this country, our democracy allows students to quit school early to do necessary jobs (farming, plumbing, mechanics...) that don't require 13 years of school. I tend to agree that our country's system is working as well as any other country's, it just takes us less time. |
