Ranking says that the Chilean system of higher education is the best in Latin America and number 34 in the world.

According to a report from the Universitas 21 Ranking 2017, Chile is ranked as the best system of higher education among Latin American countries, and number 34 among the top 50 in the world.

This is what Universitas 21, the global network of universities focused on research, in its publication of the sixth edition of its ranking, which measures the quality of higher education systems rather than assessing individual universities, says.

This ranking assessed 50 higher education systems in 4 areas: Resources (investment, public and private, teaching and research), environment (governmental policies and regulations, financial autonomy and diversity), connectivity (international networks and cooperation with the industry) and productivity (research and its impact, quality and production of a workforce that satisfies the requirements of the labor market).

After evaluating these four areas, the United States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Sweden are in the top five, and among Latin American countries Chile (34), Argentina (41), Brazil (42) and Mexico (46) are at the top of the list.

According to the methodology used by the Universitas 21 Ranking 2017, the report shows a correlation between the performance of higher education systems and the strengths of their governments, which allows to evaluate the strengths and detect areas of opportunity.
