This is one of the major reasons why I'm not sure I like OECD's report. I live in Denmark and to be honest, I wouldn't know how to compare my own education system with the system in the states.
What precicely does the term college degree cover? I have never had a good explanation of this, so I dare some of you to try :)..Please.
I know our university degrees are a lot different from the ones in the states, Germany and the UK. So how can we compare these degrees if they are not equal?
The OECD report is only talking in quantity, not quality.
All education in Denmark is free btw :) But it is unfortunately not possible to stay in the university forever.
