This Blog simply would not be complete without referring you all to the OECD stats on education. The data is constantly changing but it is great to note that today Australia is ranked third behind Finland and Poland.
The important thing to remember is that no matter how good our system is, there are always improvements we can make and the best way to find improvements is to study the other world leaders.

"Education plays a key role in providing individuals with the knowledge, skills and competences needed to participate effectively in society and in the economy. In addition, education may improve people’s lives in such areas as health, civic participation, political interest and happiness. Studies show that educated individuals live longer, participate more actively in politics and in the community where they live, commit fewer crimes and rely less on social assistance."
