US News reports on a survey conducted to collect data on 80 countries and rank them based on the attributes of public education quality and whether one would consider attending college there. The survey used a sample of over 21,000 people from 4 regions. An interesting finding was that some of
the top ranked countries have centralized and federally controlled education systems. Some of the countries even have school 7 days a week instead of the more common 5 days a week. Overall, Canada was ranked #1, and the United States was ranked #7. While a definitive cause for the higher success of some countries is not easily determined, one leading indicator was the
amount of money spent on education. The amount of money spent per child did not directly
correlate to being the best country in education, but those spending more money did finish relatively high. Some might find it concerning that the United States dropped 4 spots from the previous year.
