I've found the best way to get a Scandinavian to admit they have a good education system is to start talking about ours
(Note: I'm not saying the UK system is bad (*), although there are clearly areas for improvement. But as a recent example I managed to shock a Swedish colleague by saying I went to an all-girls school!)
(* And I'm not just saying that to pacify any UK educators here, or any of my colleagues who may be here
