Global Education Report - 2018

The World Top 20 Poll’s Second Quarter rankings is a Global
Education Report. That identifies areas of needs to improve the
quality of education for students 3 to 21.
The report is prepared from an international survey of students,
parents, teachers, educators, and tax-payers, using a random sample
online public opinion survey– on how to improve education in their
country.
The poll survey is held from May to June each year, at the World Top
20 Project’s official website – www.worldtop20.org
The survey’s results are then compared to NJ MED’s international
education research report that gathers data from news reports and
educational publications covering the recent school year greatest
challenges, to create the Global Education Report ranking data.

For Example: NJ MED’s 2018 international education research
report information will be used to compare its results with this
year’s online survey results. Along with the survey’s three
largest participating groups.
The information is then used by NJ MED to prepare the Global
Education Report that ranks the countries with the most survey
participations from both it’s first quarter poll and the survey.
