| 1376983 | 2014-06-12 02:28:00 | Well, I’m no leftie Wal and that link had my attention until I got to where they rated NZ Number 1 for education! It was there that they lost all credibility and I lost interest. :rolleyes: |

| 1376986 | 2014-06-12 05:21:00 | Well, I’m no leftie Wal and that link had my attention until I got to where they rated NZ Number 1 for education! It all depends upon the criteria selected: The Education sub-index measures countries’ performance in three areas: access to education, quality of education and human capital. The Education sub-index has risen since 2009, with a slight drop in 2012 (see graph). Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa recorded the highest and lowest performances, respectively, in the Education sub-index over the last five years, with the other regions scoring very close to the global average throughout the last five years (see graph) Here's more Further comment and Graph (www.prosperity.com) I agree with you, B.M. but the criteria selected by the authors is entirely over to them and it's unlikely there will ever be a consensus. :D |

| 1376987 | 2014-06-12 06:10:00 | Well clearly Wal the “access to education” figures must screw the “quality of education figures” enough to render them useless. Quite what exactly “human capital” constitutes eludes me. Hells teeth, if some of the Zombies that pass my place going to and from school represent the best educated in the world we are in big trouble. :crying |

| 1376988 | 2014-06-12 07:31:00 | In te phrase, "quality of education" they carefully do not state whether it is high or low quality that scores most. Human capital: means the people are about to be fiscally squeezed a bit more |

| 1376989 | 2014-06-12 08:32:00 | New Zealand ... #5!! NZ is ranked #5 in the Asia Pacific region, but world wide we are #17: "Countries that have overtaken the US in the Economy sub-index include New Zealand (17th) " |

| 1376991 | 2014-06-12 22:39:00 | Lets get some better data (yep, below is just a rough overview) And keep in mind this lifestyle were expect was funded via goverment & private borrowing. When that bubble bursts expect our ranking to plumment note the income ranking www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org "New Zealand educational achievement has dropped significantly in the core subjects of science, maths and reading, according to a OECD report." www.nzherald.co.nz GDP per capita , a few years old... ranked 17th, we were even behind Spain (that may have changed now ) en.wikipedia.org Ranked 20th here, and dropping www.treasury.govt.nz |
