they said (for Cro) :
Current education spending (% of GDP)
4.5%
Primary school enrolment ratio (% Net)
87%
Secondary school enrolment ratio (% Net)
85% (!!)
Higher education enrolment (% Gross)
41.8%(!!!)
Secondary school has become mandatory since this year, and by our calculations we have about 14% of higher educated people in country... I think that the numbers don't add up...

Finland at #8... *shrug*
Has there been any talk in the swedish media about joining NATO, btw? In finnish press it's been mentioned a few times lately again, like how we should join NATO in the near future together with Sweden, lower score might have something to do with that?
Looks like Wikipedia mentions it as well (for what it's worth, heh):
Other potential candidate countries include, in South-eastern Europe, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, and Montengro. Other possible, long neutral countries that might become members are Finland and Sweden.

I am surprised New Zealand is so high up. I heard they have a very big problem with crime and gang violence.

they scored the lowest (low = good) on murder rate and second lowest on violent crime. also they tend to have less arms sales and military expenditures.

also if the rest of you care for some background (and criticism) ..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Peace_Index
one criticism is :
| Quote: | | according to The Economist, the weighting of military expenditure "may seem to give heart to freeloaders: countries that enjoy peace precisely because others (often the USA) care for their defense." The true utility of the index may lie not in its specific rankings of countries now, but in how those rankings change over time, thus tracking when and how countries become more or less peaceful |

^^ I think that it is actually a positive thing, since USA scores a perfect (bad) 5. More % of your military participating in UN missions = better score.
