Poland outperforms UK in education and health

Poland is outperforming the UK when it comes to education as well as being the world leader in converting economic growth into the well-being of its citizens, according to a new report.

The Sustainable economic development assessment (Seda) by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) measures wellbeing across 149 countries. Under the education dimension of Seda, Poland got a score of 90 (the best country gets 100 and the worst zero). This was higher than the western European average of 82 and Britain’s 74.

Poland is ahead of the UK when it comes to teacher-to-pupil ratio, levels of tertiary enrolment and the health dimension.
Poland’s improvement in overall wellbeing between 2006 and 2013 was higher than any other country when adjusted for how much each economy grew during that period.
