Background	Japan is famous for its technological cleverness, and its education system has long been producing graduates highly literate in the sciences. In 2000, surveys carried out by the OECD revealed Japanese 15-year-olds were world leaders in <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_mat_lit-education-mathematical-literacy">mathematical literacy</a> (557), and 2nd in <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_sci_lit-education-scientific-literacy">scientific literacy</a> (550) behind South Korea.
