It ranked the highest overall and also comes in as the best  small country, the best high-income country, and the best country for education.  Its students scored first in science and second in both reading and  math in the 2006 (the most recent one for which data are available)  Program for International Student Assessment, a test of 15-year-olds'  education skills by the OECD. Finland's schoolkids enjoy a laid-back and  inclusive learning environment where shoes are optional, all teachers  have master's degrees, and extra help is the norm: every year about one  in three students gets individual time with a tutor.</blockquote>
