The definition of "tertiary" education seems cloudy. Is a German "Abitur" counted as a tertiary degree? The Gymnasium includes secondary and college level in the same school. Other question: is the percentage taken from the total adult population? If yes, I doubt the high numbers for some countries. If no, what is it? Here's a wealth of statistics from NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/national/20050515_CLASS_GRAPHIC/index_03.html According to the graph, only 10% of the US population have a bachelor degree and 25% an associate degree or higher. I don't know how this compares to European grades but I think the statistic may be misleading. |
