And still (or maybe because?) the resulting adults in Sweeden score above e.g Korea in both numeracy and adaptive problem solving (but slightly less than Japan). The race is not about being best at 16 after all. https://gpseducation.oecd.org/CountryProfile?plotter=h5&prim... https://gpseducation.oecd.org/CountryProfile?plotter=h5&prim... | ||

Probably attributable to a time lag as the Korean GDP per capita in the 1960's was close to sub-Saharan African levels + military junta rule that stymied liberal education for a good cohort of the population. Countries like Spain also show similarities to Korea and when looking at youth scoring, things tend to be more equal. | ||
