Best Education In The World: Finland, South Korea Top Country Rankings, U.S. Rated Average

The United States places 17th in the developed world for education, according to a global report (http://thelearningcurve.pearson.com/content/download/bankname/components/filename/FINAL%20LearningCurve_Final.pdf) by education firm Pearson.

Finland (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/24/finland-schools-success-equality-collaboration_n_1219780.html) and South Korea, not surprisingly, top the list of 40 developed countries with the best education systems. Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore follow.

But America's average ranking doesn't come as a surprise. A report recently published by Harvard University's Program on Education Policy and Governance (http://www.hks.harvard.edu/pepg/PDF/Papers/PEPG12-03_CatchingUp.pdf) found that students in Latvia, Chile and Brazil are making gains in academics three times faster than American students, while those in Portugal, Hong Kong, Germany, Poland, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Colombia and Lithuania are improving at twice the rate.

A 2009 study found that U.S. students ranked 25th among 34 countries in math and science (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-07/teens-in-u-s-rank-25th-on-math-test-trail-in-science-reading.html)

Just 6 percent of U.S. students performed at the advanced level on an international exam administered in 56 countries in 2006. That proportion is lower than those achieved by students in 30 other countries (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joanne-jacobs/us-lags-in-top-math-stude_b_783155.html). American students' low performance and slow progress in math could also threaten the country's economic growth (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/17/math-test-proficiency-naep-pisa_n_929498.html), experts have said.

I love how these Scandinavian countries with total populations below 8 million are always used to show how bad the US quality of life, social programs, education, etc. compare to the "rest of the world".

Finland has fewer people than the Houston MSA. I applaud their efforts and success when it comes to quality of education in their country, but it's a tough sample size to point to and ask why a country of 315 million can't do the same thing.

This isn't to say that higher education in the US doesn't need to improve. I'm not a fan of the everyone-gets-to-go-to-college philosophy that is dumbing down institutions of higher learning and negatively impacting pipeline flow of high school graduates into trade schools for licensed professionals. We've convinced high school kids that their options are College or McDonald's/Mall Jobs. But pointing to Finland isn't a logical route. Neither are the majority of countries listed in the article as improving. Portugal, Hong Kong, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Lithuania all have less than 10 million people.

South Korea in the 50 million range definitely has merit to get a better understanding of their success. But with the second highest per capita military population in the world (only surpassed by their Korean brothers to the north), one wonders if there is a correlation between culture, military service and quality education.

Germany at almost 90 million being tagged as an emerging country in the quality education picture would be a good comparison. But again, they are not ranked high, but improving.

I know it's difficult to compare like populations to the US, but let's be honest about the apples to oranges comparisons of lists like these.

Most Californians refer to UC Berkley as Berkley or UC Berkley. Cal is usually used, or what I generally hear, by people outside of California. I think it has to do with how the football and other athletics insignia. It says Cal...


Yeah i refer to it as UC Berkeley but just know they are the same probably becasue i am from California.


Do I really need to send you to a dozen sites out there talking about....Cal?

number 1 of a ton

So ya have never seen a...CAL...sweat shirt...right? When they talk about THE BIG GAME it's Cal vs Stanford. Nobody has ever said...UC Berkeley vs Stanford.

Odd how the people who live in California are disagreeing with you. :lol I guess you know more than we do about our own state though, right? Anyway, I wasn't even arguing with you, just pointing out that I was confused and even admitted that I was mistaken. You get defensive about the stupidest shit. :lol

Dude, I've lived in California all my life and it's always been....Cal. Why do you think I brought up Cali? And I seriously doubt anyone you know knows more about this state than I do. Since I've lived in San Francisco, San Diego, Tulare, Visalia, Porterville and was a traveling salesman.

Been all over the state.

It's the Cal Bears....not the UC Berkeley Bears. What does it say on the side of the football teams helmets....CAL

It's pointless Cry Havoc...like arguing with the animatronics at Chuck E. Cheese's...

No one here calls it that. Literally no one. I have lived here for 3 years and haven't heard it referred to as "Cal" once. It's UC Berekley, or more often just Berkeley.

For football it is never called Berkeley or UC berkeley.

Yea for football(probably all sports) it is always Cal. When I think of it as a college I say UC Berekeley because who the heck do they think they are calling themselves California.

You created a thread topic about academic institutions and the superiority of the California and Texas educational systems.

Now you are identifying that school by its sporting mascot. Are you really that daft? I'm guessing you think people who get an advanced degree from Berkeley put, "Cal Bears" on their curriculum vitae, too? Maybe a paw print next to their doctoral thesis? A helmet next to their peer-reviewed research like it's a 5th grade science project? :lmao

But most people still know it by Cal also because of the sports teams.

It's still called Cal by the alumni.

I guess you're dumb enought to think those who graduated from there don't call it ....Cal. I've heard...

Steve Bartkowski
Chuck Muncie
Tony Gonzalez
Aaron Rodgers
Joe Kapp
Wesley Walker
Marshawn Lynch

...all call it Cal.

My brother in law who went there called it ....Cal.

"She went into this tirade about athletes and entitlements and whatnot. She basically picked on the wrong person in the class because I was probably the best student out of the 11 football players in there. I was second-team all-academic at Cal, if you do your research there," Rodgers explained. "She's looking at me, condescending, talking down to me. And she says, "What do you want to do with yourself?"I said, "I want to play in the NFL."She laughed. She laughed at me. It was a condescending laugh and she said, "You'll never make it. You'll get hurt. You'll need your education

Another repetitive agenda schtick poster. Hey I have an idea, someone create a troll and post the same shit over and over. Make a new thread saying basically the same thing every day or so for a year. See how that goes. No one has tried it yet.

Holy shit.

Do you realize how many people call it "UC Berkeley"? You really think because you call it Cal, everyone calls it Cal, don't you? Your mind can't even fathom of someone calling it something other than the name you know it by. It's absurd how blinded you are. I'm on that campus literally once a month or so for work. Students who go there don't call it Cal nearly as often as you are claiming, as I've NEVER heard it since they only seem to call it Berkeley or UC Berkeley.

What I think is when ya see...Cal...in a list of Cali schools you have enought sense to know what that means, not unlike UCLA/USC.

Now think.....what other school does CAL...fit? Yep....none!

You have any idea how many students have come and gone from that school? I don't give a shit what you are seeing right now, you ask any of those thousands of alumni what school they went to, I'm betting ya hear....Cal.

No one at Berkeley calls it Cal. Trust me on this.

Oh, I do, since I know several students and faculty who work there. I'll ask them if they put "Cal Bears on their resume the next time I'm up there.

It is not the same. It should be UCB. All UC's have California in their name. And were the people you knew athletes?

The point was when we have a shorter way to say things it's human nature to go that route. I went to....The College of the Sequoias.... in Visalia. Yep....COS.

Where I used to work the plant manager was a Cal graduate, he always said....Cal. When I was in the insurance business the district manager was a Cal graduate, he always said....Cal. I have a brother in law who attended Cal, he says....Cal.

It's the...Cal Alumni Associate. We see sweaters, sweat shirts....CAL. Headbands....CAL.
