I recently attended primary school in nz and I can say that I learnt all of those. My school (Northland School) was rather well known however.

Careful though, people on HN are not a good sample. They would have learned those with or without school.

But you can't compare education systems between countries, NZ has a fairly unique education system with a different focus than most countries, it has been very successful for NZ but has never worked when other countries (most notably California) tried to copy it.

Probably because the edu system is only the reflection of the community it's working in. You can have the best boat in the world, it won't take you far on a highway.
