The result was that they compiled a list of experts rated by country who most often completed courses from a particular field.

The Cutting Edge countries group, which includes the most advanced countries, coming in at number thirteen is New Zealand, fourteenth is Canada, and in fifteenth place are the Netherlands.

In the field of technology, Russia, Belarus, Switzerland, Ukraine, and Finland make up the top five. Students from these countries are skilled in cybersecurity, creating programmes in various programming languages, and teaching artificial intelligence. Specialists from the UK are ranked 23rd, and Silicon Valley experts are 37th.

In both the niche of data science, and, indeed in technology in general, Russian has taken an undisputed pole position. Experts who have mastered the sciences from linear algebra to Python also live in Switzerland, Belgium, and Austria. Pakistan, Kenya, and Nigeria are ranked fifty-eighth to sixtieth place, respectively.

According to regional studies, Canada wins in all three categories in North America, with Brazil and Argentina leading in South America. The best European experts live in Switzerland and Russia, while the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel come top of the pile amongst Central Asian and African countries.
