Canada also ranked fifth in mathematics as well as in science. By comparison, the United States is much lower down in the rankings. Historically Canada has been and continues to be one of the leading educational countries in the world. And in Canada, the best performance was in Alberta, with Quebec in second place. The 2009 survey ranked a total of 35 countries and the best performer in Eastern Europe was Estonia. Bill Tierney is a former teacher at John Abbott College in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec.
