In China, an estimated 14% of today’s young people will graduate from a tertiary-type
A first-degree programme, (US=38) Asian Americans over 50%
4% will graduate from a tertiary-type B first-degree programme, during their lifetimes. (US=11)
(they say 18, but more likely 18% will have A or A+B)
• Based on current patterns of graduation, it is estimated that an average of 39% of today’s young
adults in OECD countries will complete tertiary-type A (largely theory-based) education over their
lifetimes, from 50% or more in Australia, Denmark, Iceland, Poland and the United Kingdom to
less than 25% in Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
• At the same time, it is expected that only one-third of young adults will complete tertiary-type A
education before the age of 30, from a high of more than 40% in Australia, Denmark, Ireland,
Poland and the United Kingdom to only 18% in Mexico
In 2010, graduation rates for tertiary-type B programmes averaged 11% among the 26 OECD countries
with comparable data. These programmes are classified at the same academic level as more theory-based
programmes, but are often shorter in duration (usually two to three years). They are generally not intended to
lead to further university-level degrees, but rather to lead directly to the labour market. In 2010, the graduation
rates for women were 12% compared to 9% for men (Table A3.1).
Based on 2010 patterns of graduation, on average among OECD countries, 39% of young people will graduate
from tertiary-type A first-degree programmes (often called a bachelor’s degree) and 15% from tertiary-type
A second degree programmes (often called a master’s degree). For first-degree programmes, the graduation
rate equals or exceeds 50% in Australia, Iceland, New Zealand, Poland and the Russian Federation but is lower
than 20% in Argentina, Belgium, China, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. The low graduation rates
in Argentina, Belgium and China are counterbalanced by a higher level of first-degree graduation rates from
tertiary-type B programmes. The graduation rate from second-degree programmes equals or exceeds 20%
in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Poland, the Slovak Republic and the
United Kingdom (Table A3.3). With the implementation of the Bologna process, programmes at this level of
education have developed considerably

Based on a study conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 24/7 Wall St. compiled a list of the 10 countries with the highest proportion of college-educated adult residents. Topping the charts is Canada — the only nation in the world where more than half its residents can proudly hang college degrees up on their walls. In 2010, 51% of the population had completed a tertiary education, which takes into account both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Canada commanded the top spot in the last study in 2000, but even still has shown serious improvement. A decade ago, only 40% of the nation’s population had a college degree.
Snagging the number two most-educated spot was Israel, which trailed Canada by 5%. Japan, the U.S., New Zealand and South Korea all ranked with more than 40% of citizens having a higher-education degree. The top 10 most-educated countries are:
1. Canada
2. Israel
3. Japan
4. United States
5. New Zealand
6. South Korea
7. United Kingdom
8. Finland
9. Australia
10. Ireland

According to a new report from the College Board (.pdf), Russia is the world leader when it comes to graduating its citizens from college.
Fifty-four percent of the Russian Federation's population aged 25 to 64 has an associate's degree or higher, data from the Organisation for Economic and Co-operative Development reveals. Canada trails Russia in second place with 48.3 percent.
