The difference in tests, I seen American tests from people I know from Spain, in Spain education system is about filtering out a lot of, Norway also have easier education system than Spain but not like US

@cjd @lain This article was from FT about an American who moved to Norway. Her work experience was previously being a manager of one of the world's biggest financial funds. She graduated from Harvard and was surprised that the teacher in her son's Norwegian school suggested her son do Lego when she mentioned he was far above the rest of the class. The teacher mentioned school was about an equal curriculum, unlike the US. The article discusses the differences in the system in general regarding equality among people in Norway.

“ According to Magne Mogstad, a Norwegian economist at the University of Chicago, Nordic countries primarily reduce economic and social inequalities by narrowing the differences in pre-tax income. They achieve this through a centralised system of wage bargaining that lifts wages at the bottom end and compresses them at the top. Because wage compression deliberately flattens the hierarchy of status we place on different types of work, a person’s value is more than her “marginal product”, in economics jargon. The fact that a doctor and a plumber can live a life with similar standards or expectations makes it easier to believe that we are all in this together. The moral philosopher Elizabeth Anderson describes this as “relational equality”. The point of equality, Anderson argues, is equality in social relations. “
