What Finland does is incredibly bad for innovation and change so they will suffer from these issues more than most other countries I would hypothesise (and what do I know?).
International testing scores are also mostly complete nonsense. Places like China do brilliantly in them usually because the people that take them see them as an honour to be doing them so put more effort in and they literally stop bad places and schools taking them so the results are incredibly artificial.
