Qatar, ranked in the top 10 both overall and for math and science, was the only other Arab country to make the list.<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Post Edit<\/b><br \/>  <br \/>  As pointed out by guest writer and economics PhD student, Mohamad Alloush, on <a href=\"https:\/\/beirutspring.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/02\/lebanon-4th-in-the-world-in-maths-and-science-education-not-really\/#more-13369\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Beirut Spring<\/a>, it looks like the aformentioned report is not at all reliable, as it basis its statistics off of self-reports rather than facts.<br \/>  <br \/>  Several other reports have found contrary data, including an international quality of education test (TIMSS 2011), in which <a href=\"https:\/\/beirutspring.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/02\/lebanon-4th-in-the-world-in-maths-and-science-education-not-really\/#more-13369\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Alloush<\/a> reports &#8220;students in Lebanon got an average score of 449 on math which is 51 points below average. In terms of ranking, we came in 25th place out of 43 participating countries.&#8221; <br \/>  <br \/>  Conclusion? Our education system is dismal, and our population likes to exaggerate. Solution? Actual education reforms. Projected completion? &#8230;. someday.    <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure
