US ranks 27th for healthcare and education, down from sixth place

So, what happened in the last 30 years?

One possible explanation is the decline in US spending on elementary and high school education, which US News notes fell by 3% from 2010 to 2014, even as its student population grew by 1%.

This is a sharp contrast to developed nations like the UK or Portugal, where education spending rose by more than 25% from 2008 to 2014.

In Turkey — the nation with the most dramatic improvement in healthcare and education levels, according to the study — education spending rose by 76%.
