You mean decently-funded students. The education system compared to pretty much anywhere else on Earth is extremely well-funded, it just goes to administrative parasites.

Far from from 'most', we find literally none except for Luxembourg ($33k), which being an extremely wealthy and tiny nation is not that much of a surprise; and is otherwise an extremely outlier.
On the other hand, the UK, France, and Germany are all beaten by Alabama [yes, that bastion of education], at $15k PPP (you can't, of course, forget to apply PPP calculations to the US states you are looking at if you're going to apply them to European countries). This is, btw, very consistent with the average income in these areas, too - Alabama is around or wealthier in PPP terms than the UK, France, and Germany as well.
