File talk:Graduates in tertiary education-thousands.jpg
Netherlands is missing. This chart is factually wrong. Andries (talk) 15:28, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
copied: "The Netherlands seem to be missing. According to the Dutch Bureau of Statistics (Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek), the Netherlands have a total of over 121 thousand graduates. Ppvg (talk) 14:32, 15 January 2010 (UTC)"
Also Switzerland is missing.
I'd also add that the population gap between countries should be mentioned. This data is meaningless unless one consider the percent of graduates out of the population of the appropriate age: russia has more gradueates also (mainly?) because of its bigger population.
Response: There are hundreds of countries missing from that chart/diagram. It is to be used as a rough guide/outlook for the education in various countries. It is not to be used as an exact quota of graduates in any specific region. All numbers listed are approximate.
You have a valid point about mentioning population size to graduates ratio, so thus, the disputed flag will remain on this page and the diagram.
You should fix your spelling errors if you plan on disputing an article as well.
U.S.A.[edit]
Why is the U.S.A. not in this chart? what about Australia and New Zealand? If anyone knows of an open license graph (or can construct one from sourceable data) with more complete and up to date info that would be good.
Because its a chart of europe
The chart is statistically complete nonsense.
Consider a country with 100 people where 60 are in tertiary education, and a country with 1 billion people with 300 in tertiary education
The chart will clearly show that the 300 is a larger slice, exactly what information is this chart portraying, that 300 is bigger number than 60? Anyone that requires or uses such a chart should be returned back to primary education.
It is missing Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and Hungary.
It is hardly a good comparison amongst European nations. Heck, Albania could come out first in education if one judiciously removes all countries that do better. This chart is utterly useless.
