Who are they trailing? I thought European countries regularly were ranked as the best education systems in the world. The US for higher education as well.

Singapore and East Asian countries/territories which share the same educational culture dominate PISA rankings, esp for math and science.

They constitutes all of top 7 in math and 6 of the top 10 (7 if Vietnam is included) in science for PISA 2015.

Vietnam, which is much poorer than Western Europe, shares a similar educational culture and performs much better than other countries at a similar income level.

PISA does not measure everything but it seems to be a pretty good metric for what it measures.
