Smile The Education system in your country

In my country,the education system is very nice.Every year many talents of our country are going abroad & are very successful there within a very short period of time.I think this is only due to the good education system here.I want to listen from all of you about the education system in your country.

I think that the education system on my country is very poor because of the results of teachers going to other country. The only way to resolve this is to offer more incentives on teachers.

My country is always lack of teachers, as most of the people think that being a teacher is the hard and boring job...

Therefore, our government has offered many incentives to attract more people involving themselves in the teacher field.

In my country, there's 6 years of compulsory education and everybody here takes education seriously. Parents main concern about their kids is for them to do well in school since in the working world, a certificate is very important for you to find a job. So its really competitive and students all strive to excel in their studies.

The greatness of education system in one's country is not solely measured by the number of talents going abroad. It is identified by the literacy of each of the population and the country's need of additional educators to produce more professions. If the number of individual going abroad increases, the rate of education for that particular country stagnates simply because, tha law of knowledge multiplication stops. Therefore, the least number of individual going abroad, the more the educators, the better system of education

Well, the Education system in Africa is nothing good compared to other continents. Africa is poor mainly because we do not benefit much from our education system. Children just waste a whole number of years in school yet graduate without being able to put what they have learned into practice. The education system in Africa is just memorization. we memorize from the science books we receive from donor countries without been able to put what we learn into practice.

I am from India and would like to say that inspite of being the second most populous country, our literacy rate is around 60% considering that around 2 billion live below the poverty line.
The government has taken variety of steps to increase the literacy rates. For girls the education up to 12th standard is free and for boys upto 10th standard.
India follows a 10+2+3 pattern where the first 10 years after 2 years of kindergarten are done in schools, then 2 years of junior college in 3 streams like science, commerce and arts. After that, one can opt for bachelor courses in physics, chemistry, botany, zoology, computers commerce, arts, etc or can opt for professional courses like medicine, dentistry, engineering, law, CA, . after that one can opt for post graduation in various fields.
India has some very topmost institutes, which are renowned world over.
IITs, BITS, RECs,- engineering
IIMs- MBA
AIIMS, CMC, PGI, NIMHAMS, JIPMER, AFMC- world renowned for medical education.
Per se, the education field is subsidized at least till the graduation level and this makes it very approachable.

The education level in my country has and still going rapid changes than years before. University and college grow more and more every day. Parents already realized the importance of certificates. Children competed among themselves to receive better marks. The world nowadays require us to be like that, I guess it can be helped.

The education system in my country is complicated. The rich kids can study overseas and never come back, but the poor school doesn't even have a proper building. The roof can fall and collapse on their heads anytime. We have a lack of good teachers too.

the education system of my country(India) is a very conventional one. Lots of examinations based upon memorizing and practicing the same things over and over again has lead to disinterest in the students. Also there is always the lack of teachers everywhere as teaching is not a high paying job as the other ones now. But still it is proving effective in producing quality doctors and engineers

Education isn't bad, there is too much focus on exams here, it's puts a lot of stress on the student and schools focus more on good result rather than actually teaching children. This does mean the low achievers do slip through the net s they are not worth focusing on. But on the whole we all learn something and get by more than happily.

Here in the UK everyone has to go to school between the ages of 4 and 16. An increasing number of students stop into further education at a school or college (ages 16 to 18) and higher education at university (age 18 and older). The Government wants everyone to have the right to a university education and has a 50% target for university admission. University tuition fees and living expenses are offset by official Government grants and loans.

I myself have made good use the UK education system, having attended university for three different qualifications.

I have mixed reviews on the education system here in India...School-level education is very good when it comes to development of basic skills such as language, maths and social studies and science- one of the best in the world I believe..
Higher education though, is not all that it is touted to be..very few colleges offer education worthy of the level expected and most end up being mediocre 4-year courses purely offering a degree rather than true technical education..
