I saw this on Facebook yesterday (posted by Frankie), well done Finland ! Of the 61 countries, the Netherlands is #10 so that is quite nice for my country . And we're 1rst for households with computers. It's an interesting study, with interesting results.

I was rather proud when I read this And all the  five Nordic countries are in the top five!

I watched a documentary about Singapore last year, it seemed they have a demanding and well structured school system and now here they finish first for test scores. But Finland is the only country interfering in a top 5 dominated by southeastern Asia. I wonder how hard it is for some first world countries to improve their performance by adapting to its own reality what's done by the best.
