After the US overall, the top 5 countries "nominally" providing the "best" tertiary level education include Sweden, Canada, Finland and Denmark. however broken down into smaller sections it was interesting to see that the US traditionally seen as a country with one of the strongest education systems, did not always hit the top spot.
