It is still the case, however, that the UK has lower entry rates and higher completion rates than the US. For example, Table C3.1a of OECD (2013) shows that 64% of pupils in the UK are expected to enter higher education to study for a first degree at some point during their lifetime, compared to 72% of pupils in the US. Of those who enter, Table A4.1a of OECD (2013) shows that just under 80% are expected to complete their degree in the UK compared to just under 65% in the US.
