Finland had the highest quality of primary education in the world in 2017, with an index score of ***. The index runs on a scale of one (low quality) to seven (very good). Switzerland, Singapore, the Netherlands, and Estonia rounded out the top five for countries with the highest quality of primary education. A solid foundation Primary school age children are generally between the ages of six and eleven years old. Primary school is the first stage of formal education and consists of general knowledge and fundamental skills in areas like mathematics, reading, writing, and science, with student enrollment rates being particularly high in advanced economies. This helps young students to form a solid base for further study as they get older. Primary education in the United States Primary schools in the United States, where they are called elementary schools, can be either private or public institutions, with enrollment in public schools generally higher than in private schools. Education from the age of five is mandatory in the U.S., whether that be through the state-funded public school system, private schooling, or through an approved home school program. Depending on state law, students can leave school between the ages of 16 and 18.

The OECD has initiated PISA for Development (PISA-D) in response to the rising need of developing countries to collect data about their education systems and the capacity of their student bodies. This report aims to compare and contrast approaches regarding the instruments that are used to collect data on (a) component skills and cognitive instruments, (b) contextual frameworks, and (c) the implementation of the different international assessments, as well as approaches to include children who are not at school, and the ways in which data are used. It then seeks to identify assessment practices in these three areas that will be useful for developing countries. This report reviews the major international and regional large-scale educational assessments: large-scale international surveys, school-based surveys and household-based surveys. For each of the issues discussed, there is a description of the prevailing international situation, followed by a consideration of the issue for developing countries and then a description of the relevance of the issue to PISA for Development.

Patterns of educational attainment vary greatly across countries, and across population groups within countries. In some countries, virtually all children complete basic education whereas in others large groups fall short. The primary purpose of this database, and the associated research program, is to document and analyze these differences using a compilation of a variety of household-based data sets: Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS); Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS); Living Standards Measurement Study Surveys (LSMS); as well as country-specific Integrated Household Surveys (IHS) such as Socio-Economic Surveys.

As shown at the website associated with this database, there are dramatic differences in attainment by wealth. When households are ranked according to their wealth status (or more precisely, a proxy based on the assets owned by members of the household) there are striking differences in the attainment patterns of children from the richest 20 percent compared to the poorest 20 percent.

In Mali in 2012 only 34 percent of 15 to 19 year olds in the poorest quintile have completed grade 1 whereas 80 percent of the richest quintile have done so. In many countries, for example Pakistan, Peru and Indonesia, almost all the children from the wealthiest households have completed at least one year of schooling. In some countries, like Mali and Pakistan, wealth gaps are evident from grade 1 on, in other countries, like Peru and Indonesia, wealth gaps emerge later in the school system.

The EdAttain website allows a visual exploration of gaps in attainment and enrollment within and across countries, based on the international database which spans multiple years from over 120 countries and includes indicators disaggregated by wealth, gender and urban/rural location. The database underlying that site can be downloaded from here.

The University of Oxford was the top ranked university in the UK in 2025, and was given an overall score of 98.5 by Times Higher Education, while the University of Cambridge had the second highest score of 97.4. The third and fourth highest ranked Universities were all located in London.

The QS World University Rankings for 2025 is a list of universities from all over the world, organized to show which ones are the best in various areas. It is widely recognized as one of the most reliable ways to compare higher education institutions. This ranking helps students, researchers, and decision-makers understand how well universities perform in terms of academics, teaching, research, and global connections. Let’s break it down into simple parts so that you can understand it easily.

What’s in the Ranking? The ranking includes several key pieces of information about each university:

University Name: This is simply the name of the school. For example, Harvard University or Oxford University. Ranking Position: This tells you the university’s position on the list, like 1st, 50th, or 200th. A lower number means the university is ranked higher. Country/Region: This shows where the university is located, like the USA, the UK, or Japan. Academic Reputation Score: This score is based on surveys of professors and researchers. They give their opinions on which universities are best for studying and learning. Employer Reputation Score: Employers are asked which universities produce the most skilled graduates. This score shows how good a university is at preparing students for jobs. Faculty-Student Ratio: This measures how many students there are per teacher. A lower number means smaller classes and more personal attention for students. Citations per Faculty: This is about research. It shows how often the university’s studies are mentioned in other research papers. The more citations, the better. International Faculty & Students: This looks at how many teachers and students come from different countries, showing how global and diverse the university is. Why Is This Ranking Useful? There are many ways this ranking can help people:

For Students: It helps students decide where they might want to study. For example, if someone wants a university with a good reputation for teaching and research, they can use this ranking to find the best options. For Universities: Schools can use the rankings to see how they compare to others. If one university is ranked lower than another, it can look at the scores to find ways to improve. For Researchers: Researchers can study the ranking to learn about trends in global education. For example, they might explore why certain regions, like Asia or Europe, have universities that are improving quickly. For Policymakers: Governments and organizations can use the rankings to decide where to invest in education. They can also study which areas of education are most important for the future. What Can We Learn from It? The QS World University Rankings help us learn which universities are leading in academics and research. It also shows us how important global diversity is in education. By understanding these rankings, people can make smarter decisions about studying, teaching, or improving education systems. It’s like a guidebook for the world of universities, helping everyone find the best options and learn from the best practices.

Abstract

COVID-19 caused significant disruption to the global education system. A thorough analysis of recorded learning loss evidence documented since the beginning of the school closures between March 2020 and March 2022 finds even evidence of learning loss. Most studies observed increases in inequality where certain demographics of students experienced more significant learning losses than others. But there are also outliers, countries that managed to limit the amount of loss. This review consolidates all the available evidence and documents the empirical findings. Data for 41 countries is included, together with other variables related to the pandemic experience. This data is publicly available and will be updated regularly.

Kindergarten Through Twelfth Grade Tutoring Market Outlook

The global Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade (K-12) tutoring market size was valued at approximately USD 105 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 190 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period. The growth of this market is primarily driven by the increasing emphasis on quality education and the rising demand for personalized learning experiences, which are key factors contributing to the expansion of tutoring services worldwide.

One of the most significant growth factors for the K-12 tutoring market is the increasing competition among students to achieve academic excellence. With education being a critical determinant of future success, parents and guardians are investing heavily in supplementary education services to ensure their children excel academically. The pressure to gain admission into prestigious universities has also fueled the demand for tutoring services, particularly in subjects such as mathematics and science, which are crucial for competitive exams.

Another crucial driver is the growing awareness of the benefits of personalized learning. Traditional classroom settings often follow a one-size-fits-all approach, which may not cater to the individual learning needs of every student. Tutoring provides a more tailored educational experience, allowing students to learn at their own pace and focus on areas where they need the most help. This personalized approach not only improves academic performance but also boosts students' confidence and motivation.

The integration of technology in education has also played a pivotal role in the growth of the K-12 tutoring market. The advent of online tutoring platforms has made it easier for students to access quality educational resources from the comfort of their homes. Online tutoring offers flexibility in scheduling, a wide range of subject choices, and access to expert tutors from around the world. This mode of tutoring has become increasingly popular, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has accelerated the adoption of digital learning solutions.

Regionally, the K-12 tutoring market is witnessing substantial growth in Asia Pacific, particularly in countries like China and India, where the education system is highly competitive. The North American market is also expanding due to the high disposable income of households and the increasing adoption of online tutoring platforms. Europe and Latin America show steady growth trajectories, driven by government initiatives to enhance educational standards and the increasing popularity of private tutoring. The Middle East & Africa region is gradually catching up, with a growing focus on educational reforms and investments in the education sector.

By Tutoring Type Analysis

In-person tutoring continues to hold a significant share in the K-12 tutoring market, driven by its traditional approach and the personalized attention it offers students. Many parents prefer in-person tutoring because it allows for direct interaction between the tutor and the student, which can be more effective in addressing specific learning challenges. The face-to-face engagement helps in building a rapport, enabling tutors to better understand the student's needs and tailor their teaching methods accordingly. Despite the rise of online tutoring, in-person tutoring remains popular, especially for subjects that require hands-on learning and immediate feedback.

Online tutoring, on the other hand, has experienced remarkable growth, particularly in recent years. The convenience and flexibility it offers make it an attractive option for many students and parents. Online tutoring platforms provide access to a wide range of educational resources and expert tutors from across the globe, making it possible for students to receive high-quality education irrespective of their geographical location. The use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning has further enhanced the effectiveness of online tutoring by providing personalized learning experiences and real-time progress tracking.

Hybrid tutoring, which combines in-person and online tutoring, is emerging as a popular trend in the K-12 tutoring market. This approach leverages the strengths of both methodologies, offering the flexibility of online learning while maintaining the personal touch of in-person tutoring. Hybrid tutoring can be particularly beneficial in cases where students need regular in-person sessions for certain subjects while leveraging onli
