The researches and the basis of pedagogy are totally different. All of these work not only for the better future and development of the youth but of the countries as a whole as well. Although the statistics and the analysis keep changing every year and this battle remains endless for the years to come.
No. 4: Germany
The responsibility for the education system in Germany lies primarily with the states, while the federal government plays a minor role, unlike others. Each state decides its own educational policy that is why the system varies throughout Germany. German secondary education includes five types of schools namely- The Gymnasium, Hauptschule, Abitur, The Realschule, and Mittlere Reife. It is free or of very little charge in over 100 institutions of higher learning in Germany. Students are usually judged through the examinations held and if they are qualified. Duale Ausbildung which is a special system of an apprenticeship allows pupils on vocational courses to do in-service training in a company as well as at a state school.
No. 3: Canada
The third on the list is Canada. Education in Canada is also funded by the federal, provincial, and local governments. Education here is, for the most part, provided publically. The curriculum is overseen by the province and lies within provincial jurisdiction. Education in Canada is divided into three stages namely primary education, secondary education, and post-secondary education.
The educational programs are administered by the district school boards who lie within the provinces under the ministry of education. Education is compulsory up to the age of 16 in every province, except for Manitoba, Ontario, and New Brunswick, where the compulsory age is 18, or as soon as a high school diploma has been achieved. Although in some provinces early leaving exemptions can be granted under certain circumstances at 14. 
No. 2: United States
The second-ranking is given to the United States. Education here is provided by public schools, private schools, and home schools. The funding of the schools is generally by the state, local and federal government. According to the stats, in 2013, nearly 87% of the school-age children attended the schools funded by the state, about 10% attended the private schools which were tuition- and foundation-funded, and approximately 3% were home-schooled.
The education system of the US spends more per student than any other country. In 2014, US education was rated as 14th best in the world the Pearson/Economist Intelligence Unit. While in 2015, U.S. high school students were rated No. 40 globally in Math and No. 24 in Science and Reading; by the Program for International Student Assessment. Holding the residence of the eight of the top 10 Best Global Universities; in US 70 percent of graduating students proceed further to higher education. 
No. 1: United Kingdom
The United Kingdom is the residence of the two of the top 10 Best Global Universities. The education system of the United Kingdom is divided into four major parts (or the four key stages); which include primary education, secondary education, further education, and higher education. Children in the UK have to legally attend primary and secondary education which works from 5 years old until the student is 16 years old. Assessment of the Students is done at the end of each stage.
The most important stage is when the student hits the age of 16 and he pursues the GCSE or General Certificate of Secondary Education. At this stage, they are given a choice, either to go onto their further education and then proceed for higher education or finish school and go into the working environments. Probably, because of these processes, the United Kingdom has been rated the topmost in this list.
