 went further  on to claim  that

In terms of education and health, the U.S. performed the worst.

 In education, Finland ranked first, while the U.S. was 26th.

South Korea, not listed in the top ten, had the second highest level of education at Number 2.

and that .....
The African nations Cameroon, Nigeria and Burkina Faso rated the lowest, at 98, 99 and 100th place.

Well if you have been to the States b4 or had an American teacher You will be a better judge.
Supposing Nigeria ranked 99th sandwiched between  Burkina Faso and Cameroon .   and lagging well behind  Jamaica .    does it mean  there are  only 100 countries in the world ?  Its true we have our own endemic problems  but exaggerated and biased baseless research this one is .   fit for the dogs .  

United States based Newsweek magazine has ranked living conditions in  100 countries around the world and in the magazine’s analysis, Nigeria  was judged to be second to the worst while Finland is the best.

Cameroun is at the bottom of the ladder while Burkina Faso is a step  ahead of Nigeria.
The analysis examined factors such as education and health care,  quality of life, economic dynamism, and political environment.
Finishing after Finland were Switzerland and Sweden. The United States  was in 11th place.

The analysis of educational systems used factors such as the  international PISA studies, as well as measures of efficiency and the  educational level of the population at large. In this, Finland was in  first place, followed by South Korea and Canada, which were in a tie.
Finland’s lowest marks were in health care, in which it came in 17th.  The ranking was based on a World Health Organisation comparison  examining how many years an average citizen could expect to live a  full-blown life without being burdened by illness or disability. The  top three were Japan, Switzerland and Sweden.
A number of factors were considered in assessing quality of life.

These included gender equality, the percentage of people living in  poverty, the equality of wealth distribution, the suicide rate, the  state of the environment, and the proportion of employed people in the  population. In this, Finland was in fourth place, with Norway,  Switzerland, and Luxembourg coming ahead.
Economic dynamism was gauged on the basis of GDP growth, the  proportion of services and industrial output in GDP, innovations, the  ease with which new companies can reach the market, and the scope of  the stock market. In this Finland was eighth, with Singapore, the USA  and South Korea as the top three.

The quality of the political was gauged through a comparison of  democratic freedom, the proportion of citizens involved in elections,  and political stability. Finland ranked fifth, trailing Sweden,  Norway, The Netherlands, and New Zealand.
