New Zealand has been ranked the fifth “most literate” country in the world in a new study – but not just when it comes to reading tests.

The new study from Central Connecticut State University has ranked New Zealand as the fifth most literate country in the world, behind Finland, Iceland, Denmark and Sweden and just ahead of Norway.

But the study only ranked Kiwis 11th when it came to traditional reading tests, and it was the highest availability of computers in the world and the eighth-best education system that kept New Zealand near the top.
