Finland — where school starts at age seven, does not have much homework, and kids don’t take high-stakes tests. Students test well while putting in fewer hours of study.

Andreas Schleicher, head of the education unit at the OECD, calls this “learning productivity.” Now these score do not reflect the highest scores. Countries such as Hong Kong and Singapore are near the top performers in PISA. Hong Kong ranked 9^th in the world for competency in science, and dropped two places for 4^th in reading and Maths. Hong Kong PISA ranking is 4^th in general, and Finland ranking 7^th overall.
