A ranking that Lebanese people should be really proud of !

The World Economic Forum’s 2013 Global IT Report, ranked Lebanon in the top 5 countries of the World for Maths and Science education.Out of the 144 countries surveyed, Lebanon came 4th after Singapore, Finland and Belgium. A ranking that Lebanese people should be really proud of !
This made me thought that the curriculum is built up well in mathematics and sciences but then why don't we have students loving these topics? If sciences program is that good why aren't we witnessing new inventions made by Lebanese people?
Why our students are demotivated and don't have the urge to work and explore things ?
Is it that we kill their motivation ? Is it the teachers' fault ? the parents' fault or the government fault ?? 
Don't get me wrong . I am really proud of this finding but it hurts to know that and not seeing any improvement in our youth . I really wish that sciences and mathematics become more fun as much as they are complicated . I'm dreaming of a new Lebanon where students and teachers work to find out new medicine , new theory , or a new invention.
