Education Attainment

Education attainment refers to the highest level of formal education an individual has completed, such as high school, bachelor's degree, or postgraduate studies. It is used to measure a person’s educational background and qualifications. Higher educational attainment often correlates with better employment opportunities, higher income, and increased access to resources. It also influences societal factors like economic growth and social mobility. Tracking education attainment helps understand educational disparities and informs policies aimed at improving access and quality of education for all.
