So this isn't really a maths post. Anyway while internet/wiki browsing I came across the UN based "education index". I have no idea of the methodology and for some strange reason the wiki article lists the 2007 rankings.
Anyway here they are , Cuba and to a lesser extent Kazakstan seem to be better than I'd have personally guessed.
Does anyone know either the methodology here or have access to more recent data?

ReplyDeleteI think this is the updated version? It has rankings in terms of overall 'human development index' (pg140), but I didn't see any education index ones. It does say what education factors they look at, though (pg 170).
