TOP 10 Most Educated Countries in the World | Best countries to study

Several surveys and studies have been conducted to find the most educated countries in the world. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, has made a list of the world’s most educated countries based on the number of adult residents between the ages of 25 and 64 that have received a tertiary education: two-year or four-year degree or have received an education through a vocational program.
In general, the lowest education rates are seen in underdeveloped countries. According to the Global Partnership for Education, education plays a key role in human, social, and economic development. Education can promote gender equality, reduce child marriage, promote peace, and overall increases a person’s chances of having a healthy life. The Global Partnership for Education considers education to be a human right, one that grants every person more chances in life such as employment opportunities, better health, and the ability to participate in the political process.
