Finland has a high-school dropout rate of about 4% -- or 10% at vocational schools --compared with roughly 25% in the U.S., according to their respective education departments.

25% high school drop out rate in the US? I hope it's not the same in Canada because if it is, we're doomed. We'll be a ******** country compared to China / India and the others!
