Oh good, another thing Americans spend more than almost anyone else on and get worse results.

USA is huge and education is largely decentralized. Results are ALL over the place.

USA would probably be better if it were like 4-10 different countries…well, some of it at least.

Yeah, data can be beautiful - but is ugly if presented misleadingly. Only very little can be concluded from this ‘graph’ (without sources btw), but it is presented as if the inner west are the great core of enlightenment, spiraling out to the ‘dumber’ nations. The level of knowledge excellence is obviously related to the amount of dollu spent - which is nonsense. My equally valid opinion is that Western liberal/Capitalist education is exceedingly inefficient, and only optimized for wage-slavery. Notice how all the super ‘edumecated’ citizens from the west have been so easily propagandized to think that Russia is the bad guy. …China is the bad guy …socialism is bad …communism evil …Capitalism GREAT! We are the best!! …and so on and so on with similar infantile propaganda from the Capitalist elite. The average intellects in these ‘educated’ western nations is Embarrassing, and misinformation from constant propaganda doesn’t help much i’m afraid…
without sources btw
The source is the OECD report, mentioned in the article linked in the body of the post: https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/education-at-a-glance-2023_e13bef63-en;jsessionid=Nwj9hwVlYhHg_5CpjLm00wyws3HlwUqKzRpJLk2T.ip-10-240-5-115
In this article, we’re going to delve into some of the data from the OECD’s report.

Finland is way lower than I expected and they apparently have the best primary and secondary education systems outside of the East Asian countries

Part of that is because private education there is not a thing. So some of the funds that would go to for-profit education at the expense of public schools instead goes into taxes to more efficiently fund education.

As it should be. More accessible, cheaper through consolidation, people make more and pay more taxes, and repeat.

It also prevents use of education to enforce class divisions.

Am surprised to see Australia rates highly. 40% of students don’t know it takes about a year for Earth to orbit the Sun.
I would guess that half the population doesn’t understand compound interest.
I would also guess only 5% could describe the scientific method, 1% could describe the use of normal distributions.
I would guess that 20% of locally born Australians would not know how to use punctuation or grammar for clear expression.
Is this a worldwide trend? The rise of flerfers suggests it is.
