紐西蘭在最新的聯合國教育指數中名列前茅
Thursday, 10 November 2011
紐西蘭在一項針對健康、教育及所得收入成就的全球評鑑報告中，紐西蘭名列世界第五大最佳發展國家
由聯合國開發計畫署（UNDP）日前發布的第21屆人類發展指數（Human Development Index）顯示，紐西蘭具備相當高的人性發展，在187個國家中排名第五，在兩性平等上排名第23。
紐西蘭在教育指數上獲得最高排名 – 整體評分為1.0，自1980以來平均12.5年的學校教育已增加0.9年。
人類發展指數的主計官Milorad Kovacevi指出，這項報告有助於提升對於各級社會階層發展的評估(而不是僅止於籠統不明的“平均指數") 。
“我們將健康與教育視為與所得同等重要，這份數據資料在許多國家有相當大的差異。”
NZ Tops UN Education Index in New Report
Friday, 4 November 2011
New Zealand is the fifth most developed nation in the world, and the highest rated for education, according to a global report that ranks countries on their achievements in health, education and income.
In the 21st annual Human Development Index, released this week by the UN Development Programme, New Zealand was said to have "very high human development" and was ranked fifth out of 187 countries, though it was placed 23rd on gender equality.
The UNDP rated countries on their long-term progress in three dimensions of human development - a long and healthy life, access to education and a decent standard of living.
New Zealand had the highest ranking in the Education Index - with a score of 1.00 on the scale and a mean of 12.5 years of schooling which increased by 0.9 years from 1980.
The chief statistician for the Human Development Index, Milorad Kovacevi, said the report helped to better assess the levels of development for "all segments of society, rather than for just the mythical 'average' person".
"We consider health and education distribution to be just as important in this equation as income, and the data shows great inequalities in many countries."
