A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I was trying to think of some uneducated response to this thread, representing part of the Finnish education.

I knew we're the best and the rest of the list doesn't matter. That's just how we roll.

@spaboolly

I have to say that private education in the US is generally pretty good. Public... is pretty atrocious. The public school system is obsessed with test scores rather than teaching students to retain, analyze, and understand information, and then put it to use. The entire public school system is far too lenient, and geared toward protecting underachievers rather than challenging students to move to a higher level.

Finland is the highest cause all their schooling is free.

And yet, the US still ranks best for tertiary education.
Overall, we have the best education in the world. What we lacked in highschool , we make up for with college.

Wasn't surprised with Finland. Yay for Canada in being the Top 10!

I was a finalist :P

I'm surprised Australia's at 13th.

It'll definitely go lower in the years to come as increased retirement rates pick up, leaving the way for new teachers who don't even need a high ATAR to get the degree (or qualify for a Master's of Teaching.) Not to mention how horrible some of our syllabus' are (namely english) with rarely any change from the Board of Studies or any other teaching authority.
