      That's another thing though, some countries don't take as long to complete a college degree! America is 4-5 years for bachelors and 2-3 (I think) for masters, where some countries are 3 years for bachelors and 1-2 for masters.


      In Sweden we have three years for a bachelor, and another two for a master. I can't think of a reason why some countries have almost seven years to get a degree. To talk about our education system; it's free and everyone that wants a degree of some sort can get one without thinking of money to pay university fees.

      That's great, but just because the fact that more people are studying or getting higher exams doesn't necessarily mean that a country is doing great. A country is doing well when education doesn't matter, and anyone who wants a job gets one. Education is a remark to employers that this individual is worth more money and probably can take more responsibility. It's not a fair assumption that more education leads to a better society.
