English is the most spoken language around the world and every country has its own style and level of proficiency in English. Education First is the private education company, which has prepared the new report based on the English proficiency on the online test and this test was conducted for 72 countries.
When the result of the high proficiency rating was announced it was found that Netherlands was on the top of the list and Denmark is on second and Sweden is on third. Iraq has very low English proficiency and it is present at the last rank of this list.
The candidates of Pakistan were also attended this proficiency level of English but due to their low level of English proficiency, they remained at the 48th rank. There are different reasons of the low percentage of English proficiency as the people have limited access to the internet and level of spending on education. The results do not show the English proficiency of the entire population of a country. These results are taken from a test, EF Standard English Test (EFSET) during 2015, in which 950,000 students of about 72 countries appeared and they got the score in English proficiency.
