Israel also had the largest increase in overall population, approximately
19.02% from 2000 to 2009.

The report shows that while education has improved across the board, it has
not improved evenly, with some countries enjoying much greater rates of
educational attainment than others.

According to 24/7 Wall St., which helped compile the data, the countries
included in the list have had educated populations for a long time. While
they have steadily increased the percentages of their populations with
post-secondary educations, the increases are modest compared to developing
countries.

According to the report, the ten most educated countries in the world are:
Canada, Israel, Japan, US, New Zealand, South Korea, Norway, the United
Kingdom, Australia, and Finland.
