It is not a lack of funding that is the primary problem with lower education...but in some parts of the nation more funding would be useful.

I do not know it to be fact, but I suspect that more people from other countries attend our Universities than any country on the earth.
OK your turn now, show us the literacy list that put's the US at the top.

And as usual stating what you think rather than what you know. Again show us the list.
