The Learning Curve, a report compiled by The Economist Intelligence Unit and published by Pearson, aims to explain the influential factors behind the best performing education systems around the world.
The ranking is based on a range of indicators, including performance in three respected international testing programmes – Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).
Overall, the report ranks South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong in the top four spots.
It is the second time the report has been produced, with the UK having also been ranked in sixth place in the original 2012 study.
