2013 Data of World Leaders’ Educational Backgrounds
There is a difference between being book smart and street smart and many say that the latter is more important. Street smart people are savvier when it comes to taking charge of life situations, whereas book smart people got good grades in school. You would think when it comes to world leaders, we would rely on life experience rather than education.

If you live in a democracy, you and your people would probably lean towards voting for someone who went to an Ivy League university rather than a city college, or no college at all. This map details what the people that we trust in power have formally studied.
