Education is one of LinkedIn's quietest big topics: we count 19,605 education posts in the last 12 months in our dataset alone. Almost all of them go unseen. The typical education post earns 26 likes.
So who actually moves the needle when they teach on LinkedIn? At MagicPost, we took the 175 creators in our dataset who post about education consistently (at least 10 education posts in the last 12 months, minimum 5,000 followers) and ranked them by median likes on their education posts alone. Not their overall fame: what happens, today, when they hit publish on this specific topic. Number twenty earns 12 times the typical education post. Number one earns 117 times it.
Two numbers you will not find anywhere else sit in each profile below: the share of feed (is education their life or a guest appearance?) and the vs-overall figure: whether their education posts earn more or less than their own usual median. Spoiler: for 15 of these 20, education out-earns everything else they write.
The full board first, then the countdown:
TL;DR: We ranked the top 20 LinkedIn creators on Education by one number nobody else publishes: median likes on their education posts alone, over 12 months and 175 creators. Bill Gates leads with 3,047 median likes per education post, 117x what the typical education post earns (26 likes).

Bill Gates, chair of the Gates Foundation, tops this ranking with a median education post of 3,047 likes, 1.8 times the #2 and 117 times the typical education post on LinkedIn. This is his second theme crown: he also tops our Healthcare ranking. Education is just 6% of his feed, and those posts earn exactly his overall median: with 40 million followers, his baseline is already the ceiling. His best post of the year is his annual book recommendation.
"Here are a few of my favorite books from this year. They all pull back the curtain on how something important really works." His most liked education post of the year: 10,730 likes. Read it
Where do these cards come from? Every figure on this page runs on MagicPost's LinkedIn analytics: median engagement per theme, share of feed, theme premiums, trajectories, across 175 education creators and 19,605 education posts. It works on your profile too, including a side-by-side with anyone on this list.
Just missed the cut
Five names land right behind, and they say a lot about how this ranking works. Morad Attik (#21, 296 median likes per education post) and Sofiat Olaosebikan (#22, 295) miss the cut by a handful of likes of median, with Olaosebikan turning a 17,574-follower audience into a 62% education premium. Chiebuka Christopher (#23, 287) and Fouzi FETHI (#24, 262) follow, both with more than half their feed dedicated to education. Dhanush T.S (#25, 251) closes the list on the highest efficiency of the five, one like for every 52 followers. Publish a little more, hit a little harder, and any of them enters the top 20 at the next quarterly refresh.
The efficiency champions (pound for pound)
Raw likes favor big audiences, so here is the other cut: engagement rate on education posts, median likes divided by followers (minimum 20k followers). The list changes completely:
Creator | Followers | Engagement rate | Median likes (education) |
21k | 1.73% | 365 | |
24k | 1.07% | 262 | |
22k | 1.07% | 239 | |
67k | 0.96% | 644 | |
30k | 0.66% | 198 |
The champion is Kriti Khanna: one follower in 58 likes every education post she writes, on the smallest audience of the whole pool. Jonathan Haidt is the only person in both the absolute top 20 and this efficiency top 5, proof that almost none of the big names compete on a per-follower basis.
The volume game (total education engagement)
One more cut: not the typical post, but the total likes generated on education posts over 12 months. This is where the high-frequency voices get their due:
Creator | Total likes on education (12 mo) | Education posts |
46,595 | 22 | |
44,802 | 11 | |
39,619 | 41 | |
36,311 | 17 | |
32,452 | 155 | |
29,392 | 32 | |
28,829 | 122 | |
26,583 | 29 |
Akshay Saini generates the most total engagement with 22 posts; Banda Khalifa needs 155 to land in fifth. This is the cut where the high-volume creators belong: Simon Lamouche and Banda Khalifa both clear 28,000 total likes, one education post at a time.
The conversation champion
The ratio of comments to likes, the cut nobody publishes. The education record belongs to François Giltaire: 98 median comments against 146 median likes on his education posts, two comments for every three likes when the platform norm is closer to one per ten. He posts daily mathematics content to a Belgian audience, and his comment section is the busiest place in our education dataset.
The residents and the tourists
Of the 175 creators who post education consistently, only 31 dedicate more than half their feed to it. This top 20 leans heavily toward the tourists. Only Angela Duckworth clears the half-feed mark (58%), with Rokeebat Hammed (48%) and Jonathan Haidt (46%) just behind, while tourists like Ethan Mollick (2%), Pascal Bornet (3%) and Daniel Bilbao (3%) post about education only rarely and see those posts massively out-earn their usual content.
The data behind that tourist premium is consistent: an audience that did not sign up for education still rewards a clear lesson, while full-time education feeds compete with themselves. Vânia Paula (+486%), Daniel Bilbao (+99%) and Dr. Martha Boeckenfeld (+94%) all earn far more on their occasional education posts than on everything else they write. If you teach on LinkedIn only occasionally, you are playing the easier game.
Two related studies while you are here: who dominates LinkedIn country by country (India, France, the full series), and the broader picture of who wins each topic. And if your plan includes showing up in these creators' comments, an engagement feed makes that a daily five-minute habit.
Study them, then study yourself. With MagicPost you can analyze any education creator the way we just did (median engagement by theme, share of feed, premiums, trajectory) and benchmark your own profile. The data on this page is the product.
Where this data comes from
Everything in this article is MagicPost's own research, not a copied list. MagicPost analyzed 19,605 education-themed LinkedIn posts from the last 12 months, kept the 175 creators with at least 10 education posts and 5,000 followers (deleted posts excluded, company pages excluded), and ranked them by median likes on their education posts. We also computed each creator's share of feed, their education premium versus their own overall median, engagement rates and conversation ratios. Rankings refresh as the data does; figures dated June 2026. No one paid to be on this list, and no one can: it is arithmetic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the top education creator on LinkedIn in 2026?
By real impact (median likes on education posts over the last 12 months), Bill Gates: 3,047 median likes per education post, 1.8 times the number two (Akshay Saini) and 117 times the typical education post on LinkedIn.
How is this ranking calculated?
Median likes on each creator's education-themed posts over the last 12 months, among the 175 creators MagicPost analyzes with at least 10 education posts and 5,000 followers. Median, not average, so one viral post cannot buy a spot, and only education posts count, so general fame cannot either.
Does posting about education boost engagement on LinkedIn?
For most of this top 20, yes: 15 of the 20 earn more on their education posts than their own overall median, with premiums up to 486% (Vânia Paula). The effect is strongest for "tourists" whose feed is mostly about something else. But the typical education post still earns just 26 likes: the topic rewards clarity, not participation.
Who are the most efficient education creators?
By engagement rate on education posts (median likes / followers, minimum 20k followers): Kriti Khanna (1.73%), ahead of Fouzi FETHI (1.07%), Abdul Mateen (1.07%) and Jonathan Haidt (0.96%).
Are the top education voices full-time education creators?
Mostly not. Only 31 of the 175 eligible creators dedicate more than half their feed to education, and the top 20 is dominated by people for whom teaching is a small slice of a broader feed: authors, CEOs and professors whose occasional education posts out-earn their usual content. The most education-dedicated name in the top 20 is Angela Duckworth, at 58%.
Which countries dominate education content on LinkedIn?
This top 20 is led by the United States, with India, France and the United Kingdom each placing two or three, and Switzerland, Brazil, Israel, Côte d'Ivoire and Tunisia one each. Country-by-country rankings are in our country series.
