There is this interesting TED talk given by Andreas Schleicher, Head of the Program for International Assessment (PISA).
Listen to what he has to say about how Korea, Belgium and Finland are spending lots of money on education. Singapore is mentioned in passing. Do you know that in Korea they hire the best Principals and pay the teachers very well? I did not know that even Poland is doing well in the education area.
The title of the talk is "Using Data to Build Better Schools". It is based on data from the well known PISA test and is also based on data about economic and social equity, and data on how public money is spent on education.
