These are lists of countries by number of people who attained tertiary education.
Tertiary education is the educational level following the completion of a school providing a secondary education. The World Bank, for example, defines tertiary education as including universities as well as institutions that teach specific capacities of higher learning such as colleges, technical training institutes, community colleges, nursing schools, research laboratories, centers of excellence, and distance learning centers. [1]
This is a list of the overall proportion of the population who have attained tertiary education (at least ISCED 5) in each country. Whenever possible, the proportion is calculated from only those aged 25 and above, as this largely excludes the people who are still in the process of attaining tertiary education and yields a more accurate percentage.

[A] person is defined as having a short cycle tertiary (non-academic) education [based on] International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) 2011 Level 5: Full-time learning for two years at an institution that requires a successful completion of secondary school. This definition is different from the definition of the ICBS's Labour Force Survey... which requires one year of study... and without making acceptance conditional upon the successful completion of secondary school.
