(School life expectancy (total) )

:roll: these statistics don't really say much, do they?
it's a statistic about quantity, not quality of the education.

i'm not saying it's wrong or it would look different, if they would
really judge the level that people achieve in school rather than
looking about how long they have been to school. i just don't know
how it would look like then. just saying that this here really doesn't
prove the level of education of a county...

Go Europe (and the uk) Go Europe ! 8)

He said ..... "Go Europe " ....... wow !!!!!!!!

For such a small country we didnt do bad at all :lol:

There is an error in this list ! France can't be at this place :evil:

lol, again: this list doesn't say anything about the level that people will reach, so there's nothing to be proud about when you're on top of the list and nothing to be sad about when you are at the bottom.

that simply means people go longer to school, and i'm not sure whether longer always means that the reach a higher level.

Owkee, won't be proud then :roll:

Actually I dont believe in statistics myself ... Just wanted to point it a bit out as a joke anyway :)

LOL, didn't mean it like that! be proud about whathever you want! :lol:

go small countries, go small countries! hehe :lol:

Why would bad schools last longer? It's easy to see that the longer you spend in school the more you learn.
