NJ MED’s 5thAnnual

The World Top 20 Education Poll provides annual international rankings of the top 20 education systems out of 209 nations.

The ranking system mission is to identify the nations that provide the best learning environment for student’s 3 to 25. The poll also recognizes each nation’s top Government leader.

How Each Country is Ranked:

Each country’s ranking is based on five educational levels: early-childhood enrollment rates, Elementary Math, Science and Reading scores, Middle-School Math, Science and Reading scores, High School Graduation rates, and College Graduation rates.

Each level consists of ranking the top 20 countries by giving a country 20 points for a first place rank, 19 for a second place rank, and so on down to 1 point for a twenty rank. The data is then used to produce the nation’s ranking from a combined score from all 5 levels.
