and they don't include the U.S



Well, I dont know if this is the reason, but it could be that the US wont let their info out, cuz the quality of PUBLIC education in the US is BEYOND ABOMINABLE.

Even the US guvmint admits that we lag the rest of the industrialized world in science/technical/math training.

Even the rice paddy slums sent their kids to school 5.5 days per week. I know this, cuz I saw it. And they make em wear plain B&W uniforms (i.e. they are going to school to study, not to show their clothes off).

I remember back in 1964, a rumor was spread (I can guess by who) that goldwter was going to require schooling on saturdays. The population was up in arms. I know this, cuz I was there.

based on the above and other evidence, it's pretty obvious where the US stacks up educationwise.
