The best education being practice today is probably in Latin America. However that education is largely of elites.
I've tried to find the the countries which succeeded best at educating an entire people well. The most effective democratic education systems are found in the following countries. I begin with the country with the best education for the highest percent of its people:
Finland
Sweden
Norway
Norway
Canada
Australia
Denmark
South Korea
New Zealand
France
Vatican City
Andorra
Greenland
Switzerland
Luxembourg
Germany
Iceland
Ireland
Georgia
and others, including the UK are ahead of the US in most accepted measures of education.
