The correlation between universal schooling and poverty decrease was determined to be very strong at r = 0.703, and since the sig. value (.000) was much lower than 0.01, the threshold for establishing a significant connection between ubiquitous education and poverty reduction, this suggests that when the level of universal educational attainment is high, the level of poverty a decrease is also high because many people have academic credentials to their names.
