Prezedu aims to familiarize readers with
the educational background of the world’s Heads of State. The Prezedu Ranking
System classifies Heads of State based
on their Highest Degree Earned (HDE). The HDE reflects only degree programs that
have been completed, not degrees that have been attempted. This study is limited to analysis of formal
education obtained through public or private schools. Special training,
military instruction or honorary degrees are not accounted for in this study.
The scope of this research pertains only to official Heads of State of
sovereign and Member Countries of the United Nations. Below is an analysis of
the Educational Attainment of the Heads of State of North and South America as
