The answer depends on what type of education? According to one study http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/4073753.stm Finland has the best school system in the world.

The USA has the most top universities. http://www.arwu.org/rank/2005/ARWU2005_Top100.htm

etc. etc. So you need to define what you mean with education.

According to reports/briefings I have read from the US State Dept., the best educational system in the world, is found in Switzerland, where the aveage high school graduate is fluent in English, French and German.

I thought it was Belgum, but I don’t remember what show I was watching that brought me to that conclusion. I just remember thinking, “I wish my grand kids could be raised there.”

I learned good in the USA. :)

JackAdams's avatar

Not really.

One does not learn “good.”

One learns “well.”
