“The US has built up such a commanding lead over every other country that it seems impossible to beat in the short to medium term,” states the report. (Representative image/pexels)More serving world leaders have studied in the United States of America (USA) compared to any other country in the world so far this year, according to the annual Soft-Power Index published by the independent UK-based think tank Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI).
The report released this week shows the number of current world leaders who have been educated in a country other than their own. In 2022, the United States dominated the list yet again with 67 world leaders who have studied in American institutions. From 57 in 2017, this number has notably increased by 10, the biggest jump among all other countries.
“The US has built up such a commanding lead over every other country that it seems impossible to beat in the short to medium term,” states the report.
The report shows the United Kingdom has retained the second position, held since 2018, as 55 serving world leaders chose the country for their education. According to the HEPI report, the gap between the US and the UK has consistently widened in the last few years. Current leaders educated in the UK include Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán and Japanese emperor Naruhito.
