looks like they spent more time making a cool site for it rather then doing research. Education data alone is almost 4 years old and not very scientific... haven't looked at the rest yet. I kind of lost interest based on the first thing I tried to validate.

Clearly the list is flawed. Finland is number one in education and you spelled "countries" wrong 
unless you were of course trying to start a topic discussing the "top 100 counties" in which case the article is irrelevant.
