I think this is the crucial point.
Most of our 40+ only have O levels, it was considered to be enough in their time.

1) During the past 2 decades at that point of time Many people did not want to upgrade as Singapore was the only top destination for worldwide businesses in Asia.
2) singapore is slave driven economy
3) In the name of maintaining local uni rankings, onyl a privileged few get uni education
The above 3 factors contributed to singapore not appearing on the list even though its a OECD country.

i am not sure though, but basically i think they will measure according per capita population, isnt that the case?

As usual, achievements by developing countries have been glossed over.
Sri Lanka has achieved a literacy rate of >90%, to quote an example.

educated =/= smart
