About half of people in Israel have completed tertiary education, according to the report.
Israel is the fifth most
educated country in the world, with half (50.12%) of people having completed
tertiary education, according to an Erudera report.
The rest of the top 10 are
Canada, Japan, Luxembourg, South Korea, the US, Ireland, UK, Australia and
Finland.
Erudera, an education search
platform, also found some joint characteristics of those countries, saying
that they all have relatively high per capita GDP, high spending on education
and low unemployment rates.
Among highly educated young
Israelis (25-34), women are a clear majority with 62.6%, according to the OECD
report "Education at a Glance 2022".
Why is tertiary education
important?
Tertiary education, according the
World Bank, "refers to all formal post-secondary education, including
public and private universities, colleges, technical training institutes, and
vocational schools."
According to the report, during
the COVID-19 pandemic, "unemployment increased much more
for those with below upper secondary attainment than for those with tertiary
attainment."
The report also suggests
that better-educated adults find it easier to adopt new technologies. 71%
of 55–74-year-olds with tertiary attainment managed to use online or video
calls during the pandemic, while only 34% of similarly aged adults with below
upper secondary attainment did.
There is an almost constant rise
in the number of tertiary students, and therefore they are becoming more diverse
with time. As more people gain access to tertiary education, the tertiary
education systems have to adapt to students coming from less privileged
backgrounds.
