>Why do non-Western elites send their kids to Western countries for university educations?

Elites. We have the best education for elites. Not for everyone, which is a large part of the problem.

Should be very easy for you to rattle off a list of countries doing better then. You may find the below link helpful in your quest.

Those rankings are for 15 yr olds. The US definitely is #1 when it comes to high-end university schooling.

Even among high schools and prep schools the nation-wide US average might be mediocre in public schools but when it comes to the higher-end private schools the US is still easily #1

Who does better than the “West” at non-elite education then? Surely non-elite must include a lot of people who never go to university. The PISA or TIMMS rankings are about as good a ranking of those as you’re going to get.

The conversation you're replying to is about elite education, not the performance of the average American student...

That's a whole different conversation.
