HOW WOULD YOU IMPROVE YOUR COUNTRY’S EDUCATION SYSTEM?

The World Top 20 2nd Quarter Global Education Report - 2017

The 2017 Second Quarter World Top 20 Poll’s Global Education

Report. Identifies areas of needs to improve the quality of education

for students 3 to 21.

An international survey of students, parents, teachers, educators,

and tax-payers, is used to gather a random sample of public opinion –

on how to improve education in their country.

The poll survey is held from May to June each year, at the World Top

20 Project’s official website – www.worldtop20.org

The survey’s results are then compared to information gathered from

news reports and educational publications covering the recent

school year, on the countries ranked in the first quarter World Top 20

Poll.

The data and information gathered is then analyzed; and stored to

study a ten year pattern of what areas of improvement are needed.

The study’s results will develop an in-depth report with Conclusions

and Recommendations on how to address areas of needs for

improving over 200 countries education systems, from primary to

secondary and post-secondary.

This report with an international database of over 200 countries

(developed by NJ MED) helps monitor the progress of the World Top

20 Project’s mission to Educate Every Child on the Planet.
