Paper problem
Arseen:
No that is not percentage. best gets 100 points, rest less.
Arseen:
OK I'll give an good example of other benefits we get.
Arseen:
I studied to be Practical Nurse, education was free, We only had to pay for some books and paper, and nick nacks.
On my second year I wanted to go to abroad to see how is the working there.
So I went to Canada. School, government and one private society gave me total of bit over 5000 Euros to do it.
Flights cost 800, housing for 6 weeks cost 300. With the rest I did what ever I wanted: I went to see NHL game, David Copperfield show and Niagara Falls.
Half a year later I went Sweden for 8 weeks. Got 3500, used 700 for flights and housing.
Add to that the 350 a month that government paid me for going to school, they even paid the gas for my car during the school time (about 4 times what my car used).
Not too bad school time.

I'd have to disagree with Newsweek. I think Japan is the best country. Just look at all the awesome stuff they come up with!
