Abstract

According to a recent international comparison of education systems, the UK is ranked sixth best in the world. The UK’s higher education system was ranked 10th (out of 48) in the 2012 Universitas 21 assessment based on resources, environment, connectivity and output. However, an analysis of international comparisons of student attainment suggests that the UK has a relatively long tail compared with many other developed countries. That is, the gap between the highest attaining and the lowest is greater than might be expected of an education system that has undergone significant and prolonged change.
