How Educated is Our World?

Tertiary Education refers to all post-secondary education, which includes education conveyed in universities, colleges, technical training institutes, and vocational schools. Tertiary education plays an important role in fostering growth, reducing poverty and boosting shared prosperity. A highly-skilled workforce is a prerequisite for innovation and growth: well-educated people are more employable, earn higher wages, and cope with economic shocks better.
In this project, we would like to further discuss the situation of tertiary education around the world and how it changes over time.
