     (US schools and allied images)

Best countries in the world for education, based on a perception based globel survey, which used a compilation of scores from three equally weighted country attributes having a well developed public education system, whether people would consider attending university there and if that country provides a top quality education. The top countries according to their rankings are given below.

Ranking #1 USA
The American colonies declared independence from the British Empire in 1776 and were recognised as a new nation in 1783. The country nearly split into two during a civil war in the mid 1800s, but regained it's footing in the 20th century during which time it was on the winning side of both world wars. The country from day one set a target for themselves and moved towards that goal in a straight path and in appreciable pace. And now they have reached where they are. People from all over the world are choosing America as a good destination for education.

Ranking #2 UK
The UK is highly developed nation that exerts considerable international economic, political, scientific and cultural influence. UK is also opted by many as an educational destination. 

Ranking #3 Germany
Germany, the most populous nation in the European Union, possesses one of the largest economies in the world and has seen its role in the international community grow steadily since reunification. Since English language is not very popular in Germany only few countries are opting for higher education there. However for their own people, Germany is one of the best countries in the world for education.

Ranking #4 Canada
Canada holds two fifths of the North American continent, making the second largest country after Russia. The country is sparesly populated, with most of its 35.5 million residents living within 125 miles of the US border. Canada is also a country choosen by the world for higher education and employment.

Ranking #5 France
It is difficult to overstate the influence France has on the world, both in the past and today. France has influenced the world in different fields including science, politics, economics and perhaps above all, culture. France is also preferred by many countries in different areas of education.

After France comes in the rankings, Switzerland, Japan, Australia, Sweden and Netherlands in the 6 to 10 rankings respectively.

India comes in the 32nd position in the world education rankings.
