The new study seems to put a shame on many countries including the Czech Republic. When it comes to the quality of education it ended up on the 19th place, while the neighboring Poland stands proudly on the 10th place.
But before you start throwing ashes on yourself, think logically. The article did not give us any details on how the study was done. For example, did they take in account the size and the number of citizens in each country? Were all of the tests optimized before they compared the scores??
As far as I am concerned, I will keep my ashes for something else…for now.
Quality of educational systems

CZ: Nova studie o kvalite vzdelani zahanbila nejen USA, ale take nasi Ceskou republiku. Nez na sebe ale zacnete hazet popel, vsimnete si, ze vubec nevime, jak byla ta studie provedena (meli pri ruce nejakeho statistika? Byly testy pred porovnavanim znormalizovany? Brali v povedomi pocet obyvatel v kazde zemi??).

Well you didn’t link to the study, but Czechia scored better than US in PISA in problem solving http://www.oecd.org/pisa/keyfindings/PISA-2012-PS-snapshot-performance.pdf
In mathematics, Czechs scored 499, US 481
I reading, Czechs score 493, US 498
In science, Czechs score 508 US 497
PISA likely has its faults, countries like China seem to game the system, but it is generally the most comprehensive comparison of OECD countries.
As far as “quality” of education studies go, there are all sorts of mushy and political variables in there I don’t pay much heed to.
I know, my link function does not work but I did put the link below my article as a ‘source’.
I will check out your study – it looks more balanced. Thanks!
If UK is in the 6th place there is something definitely wrong with this ‘study’!
Haha! Where would you like it to be? First place?
UK should be at the bottom of the list not Czech Republic.
Really?? Is the education in the UK that bad?
