Education is one of the necessities of the humans and, therefore, a prime responsibility and obligation of the states and governments to impose it without any regional or class discrimination. A state is a combination and arrangement of a number of systems being run by the state machinery. Among the others, Education is a system that requires an organized systematization, coordination and structural development from grassroots to higher levels of and around the society. The education itself is a proof to the progressiveness and development of the nations.The most developed nations in the worlds have most developed and best education systems while, the underdeveloped, struggling ones and one with the bad economy and global ranks have the bad education systems when compared to the developed ones. West is considered to be the most developed ones when it comes to education which however isn’t the case especially when you talk about the USA, Australian continent and overall European continent.
Here is a list of top ten 20 countries with doing well and strengthening their education systems.
The rankings are confirmed with the combination of the OECD’s Pisa tests, international tests, Int. Mathematics & Science Study, Int. Reading Literacy Study and other US Studies. Asians (South and South East followed by Norwegians) and then others are once again leading the world in the best education providers of the world.

1. South Korea

Japan and south-Korea have fierce competition for the 1st rank. Koreans defeated Japan in 3 levels. Japan despite investing in childhood education is compromised in some rankings as no#2 and almost tying with Japan in the ranks. Do you know that children in South Korea attend school often seven-day a week? The national education budget estimated last year was $11,300,000,000. Korean is the primary language and learning mode of the country. The literacy rate is total 97.9% out of which males are sharing 99.2% and 96.6% of females. Korea’s economic development and prosperity is a proof to its development and innovation in education. Apart, from Korean, strong efforts have been made to pour quality English language in the education systems. The GDP (PPP) per capita estimated in 2014 is $34,795.

2. Japan

The Japanese have dominated in the world from the last three-quarters. The technology-based educational structure has provided the nation with some great figures in the knowledge and insight. The strong education has made the country rank in top numbers among the world’s strongest economies. The GDP nearly 5.96 trillion USD is well evident to prove the claim.

3. Singapore

One of the four Asian tigers has an impressive economy which obviously is the result of a well-established educational system. The strong and highly ranked primary education system is none less than 3rd rank in the competition. The GDP (PPP) per capita is U$D 64,584 is also number 3rd in the world.

4. Hong Kong

The Education Bureau is administrating the educational policies in the country. The school education management is pretty much in the way as UK model of education. The educational budget for the last year was $39, 420 per capita. The primary, secondary and higher education levels are exemplary in their approach and work. English and Cantonese Chinese are the mainstream languages for educational texts. The 94.6% literacy rate is making a pretty good sense about the numbers. The GDP (PPP) per capita accumulated in 2014 is $404.892 billion.

5. Finland

A number of folks still consider Finland as no#1 in the best educational system which exactly isn’t the fact anymore. The premature child admission is a big drawback in the system. The no tuition fees system has an annual educational budget of €11.1 billion. Krista Kiuru is the heading the ministry of education. The male & female literacy rate is 100/100 from the year 2000. The enrollment in primary, secondary and post-secondary modules are impressive too. The country’s Gross domestic product wasn’t less than $36,395 (per capita).

6. UK

With the devolution of the Education in UK, the individual governments are administrating the matters relating education on their own. The Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish and English governments are minding their businesses on an individual basis instead of a collective dealing under kingdom’s authorities. The Pearson has ranked UK second in the European ranks and given the rank of #6 in the worldwide ratings in their 2014 publication. However, as a matter of fact Scottish system has a slight edge over the England when it comes to comparative competitiveness. The GDP per capita is 21st highest in the world with $38,711.

7. Canada

GDP per Capita: $44,656
Canada is investing 5.4% of its Gross Domestic Product in the education sector. English and French are the primary levels for interacting with bookish knowledge.

The Canadians follow compulsion in the education up to the 16 (most provinces) or 18 years (exception for a couple). The educational calendar varies from 180-190 days. The results will be impressive to a great extent after prioritizing the investments in childhood education.

8. Netherlands

GDP per Capita: $42,586
The low investments, weak planning and management in the high school education, have put Netherlanders on 8th in the ranking. Despite a strong child education structures, the country isn’t delivering much good in the overall ratings under the current ministering of Jet Bussemaker. The Dutch, German, West Frisian and English are the key languages to impart education in the state. However, the country should be accredited for stepping up in the lists by consistent improvements seen.

9. Ireland

The Irish government is having an investment of 8.759 billion euro annually on the education. The literacy rate is 99% for each male and female. The education in the country is free for all levels from primary to third or college/university level.

The educational and UN’s Human development indexes are among the highest in the world. The tuition costs and expenses are nothing. The students enjoy the best aids in terms of fees, scholarships and other financial matters.

12. Germany
