Who has the best education?

An English company, Pearson, says Finland and South Korea do.  Pearson is a conglomerate of Penguin Publishing the Financial Times and a host of operations in education.  Their survey combines international test results and data such as graduation rates between 2006 and 2010 or how many people go on to university.  The study thinks that, while spending is important, a culture that is supportive of learning is more important.

The five countries ranked highest are Finland, South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore.  The U.S. is ranked #17.

It may be that the reason South Korea ranks high is because of the parents pictured praying below.
