Perhaps the Asian school curriculums have steep "difficulty curves" and cram a lot of content into semesters (math that was covered at my Australian school in grade 9-10 I learnt in grade 5 at Japanese school). There may also be more of a stigma attached to not performing well academically in those countries.
