The education system should really have higher goals than churning out good little workers. Plato would punch you in the face.

Well yeah, but thats normally a function of the metrics used. If I handpick my rankings criteria to favour social democratic countries then it isnt very surprising or interesting that social democratic countries come top of the final list. Look at all the silly quality of llife surveys that have been designed to put Norway/Sweden at #1 for instance.
