Canada is right behind Finland in the rankings.
Of course educating the way Finland (and Canada) does it takes a lot of money.
Teachers (if a society values them) have to paid well enough that really qualified people will be lining up to compete for high paying jobs.
Now...if you don't think it's worth getting really highly qualified people to teach your kids - cheap out on the schools - and the teachers working inside - and hope for a miracle.
