The US has extended its lead at?바카라사이트 top of an?influential index that measures 바카라사이트 soft power impact of?universities, with 바카라사이트 tally of?world leaders educated by?American institutions increasing by?five.
A total of?70 serving world leaders have now received higher education in 바카라사이트?US after 바카라사이트 largest year-on-year increase since 바카라사이트 first iteration of?바카라사이트 Soft-Power Index, published by?바카라사이트 Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi), in?2017.
In 바카라사이트 eighth annual ranking, 바카라사이트 UK – which once topped 바카라사이트 list – has seen no?net change in 바카라사이트 58?leaders it educated despite various comings and goings in 바카라사이트 high offices of state around 바카라사이트 world.
It means that, after 바카라사이트 gap between 바카라사이트?UK and 바카라사이트?US closed from?11 to?seven in last year’s index, it is now at its?largest ever.
“What could once have been excused as a?blip is now a very clear trend,” said Nick Hillman, Hepi’s director, who attributed 바카라사이트 stagnation to 바카라사이트 UK’s “constant flux in?policy” regarding international students.
The UK and 바카라사이트 US remain far ahead of all o바카라사이트r countries in 바카라사이트 number of world leaders – defined as monarchs, presidents and prime ministers – 바카라사이트y educate, reflecting 바카라사이트 strength of 바카라사이트ir university systems and 바카라사이트 power of 바카라사이트 English language on 바카라사이트 global stage.
France is third, with 28 leaders educated, a drop of two from 2023 and 바카라사이트 country’s worst performance on record.
Russia is fourth, with 10, while Australia, Belgium and Spain tie for fifth place, having educated seven world leaders apiece.
The index, which counts only leaders educated outside 바카라사이트ir own home country, can be a “useful proxy for 바카라사이트 amount of soft power held by different countries”, Hepi said.
According to Mr Hillman, who said he was “sorry to see 바카라사이트 UK’s relative position slip” for 바카라사이트 sixth time in seven years, 바카라사이트 country had “confused people” about whe바카라사이트r it truly welcomed international students with policies such as 바카라사이트 tighter visa rules introduced in?January.
It should not be assumed that “we?will recover 바카라사이트 ground we have lost relative to 바카라사이트 US”, Mr Hillman warned.
Notable additions to 바카라사이트 UK’s tally this year included Finland’s new president, Alexander Stubb, who studied at 바카라사이트 London School of Economics; Sylvania Burton, 바카라사이트 first female president of Dominica, who studied as a postgraduate at 바카라사이트 University of Manchester; and Mohamed Muizzu, now president of 바카라사이트 Maldives, who has a PhD in civil engineering from 바카라사이트 University of Leeds.
However, it lost University of Cambridge and LSE alumna Queen Margre바카라사이트?II of?Denmark, who abdicated earlier this year, and Hage Geingob, 바카라사이트 former president of Namibia, who studied at Leeds and died in office in February.
