Israel is the second-most educated country after Canada, a recent report published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said.
According to the Education at a Glance 2012 report, Israel came in second place, in terms of the percentage of 25 to 64 year-olds that have reached higher education.
Some 46% of Israelis have a higher education compared with the OECD average of 30%.
The report, which was released on Tuesday, reviews the years 2009-2010 and shows comparative data between the 34 OECD member countries.
The report further indicated that the percentage of students that graduate from high school has risen from 89% in 2003 to 92% in 2010. The Israeli percentage of high school graduates is one of the highest among OCED member countries.
