well yes, same with the united states. the education system is absolutely fucked and the joke of the world, but they have the world's top universities. it's like the mother hawk always feeding the biggest chick. it makes sense to concentrate on the ones who are going to be most successful, and fuck the rest. trying to make everyone equally educated is bound to fail.

You say UK but you mean England. Faggot.

Lots of the Scottish universities are pretty well respected on research as well as some in the north of England.

Up until a few years ago when a murdering bastard was put in charge of Northern Ireland's education they had one of the best pre-university education systems in the world.

From that source, the U.S. spends 50% more than the European Union. That being said, it is true that the U.S. puts a lot of money into the military when it could further research.
