New Zealand scored in the top 20 for all categories, coming out fifth overall.
A number one ranking in Education was achieved for New Zealand, where the performance is measured on access to education, quality of education & human capital.
The report highlights that "an improvement in enrolment rates combined with an increase in secondary education per worker helps create an increasingly capable workforce, laying the foundations for further economic development and prosperity"
