abstract = "There is a clear belief among academics and policy makers about the importance of ICT for sustainable development and welfare. Thus, all across the world, a variety of strategies to promote the digital development have been proposed and implemented by national and international authorities. Simultaneously, academics have been dedicating their efforts to understand what explains the international digital divide. Within the academia, one can find the education of the individuals as one of the most popular reasons for the digital divide across countries. We tasked ourselves with analyzing this last correlation between digital development and educational attendance of countries and, with data pertaining to 105 countries and we conclude that the correlation is significant and surprisingly high, emphasizing the role of educated individuals in ICT adoption at country level.",
