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 all 185 countries of the World as of December 2013.
