Education First (EF) publishes the annual EF English Proficiency Index (EF EPI), which ranks countries based on English language skills. The ranking assesses adults’ English proficiency through standardized test data. It categorizes nations as very high, high, moderate, low, or very low proficiency.
In the latest report, European countries like the Netherlands and Sweden often top the list, while Asian nations such as Singapore also rank highly. The index serves as a benchmark for comparing English skills globally, aiding policymakers and educators. Rankings fluctuate yearly, reflecting changes in education systems and language training investments.
