South Korea

South Koreans have excelled in several fields of entertainment and industry in recent years, and their educational system has played a key part in this. South Korea was ranked third in the world's greatest educational systems, with a score of 101.

In South Korea, elementary and secondary education are required, and if you attend public schools, you will receive a free education. South Korean society, on the other hand, places a high value on children's education. Whether a child comes from a wealthy or poor family, Korean parents prioritize providing them with a solid education.

In the five new metrics, South Korea only fared well in the completion rate of pupils aged 5 to 14. It is worth noting, however, that they have emerged top in the yearly poll for the previous three years following the annual autumn test scores and graduation rates of high school and college students. As a result, the demand for higher education in South Korea is expanding.

The government invested $43.1 billion on education in 2015, which appears to have paid off because 46.86 percent of the population is deemed educated adults.
