  There's a funny story. Before PISA, Finland looked up to the German school system, which was clearly considered superior by both sides. When PISA came out in 2000, Finland was surprised to come out on top for Europe. Germany's performance in math was abysmal -- behind the US even. People started flocking to see what Finland did, and stopped looking up to Germany. https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2002/2002116.pdf https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2002/2002116.pdf The German school system has since gradually improved -- it's no longer behind the US -- but it's far from world-leading.
