There are many different education systems in the world. Basics are pretty much the same , but ofcourse depending of the culture, the differences and interests of educating people, are big.
Children go to school at age five in Great Britain , which is too early in my opinion. Most children in Estonia start school at age seven , only some of them at age six. I think starting with school and competition , rivalry, witch always associates with schooling, too young, shortens the childhood and may affect negatively self-esteem, success and coping in the future. Children´s job is to play, it develops child the best , so I think anyone shouldn’t forbit humans inherent needs. Children don´t have to become too fast to an adult .
The high school in Great Britain starts at age eleven , but in Estonia at about age fifteen . Biggest difference is that in Great Britain they prepare young people to get a job or continue studing, but in Estonia this is only first step of educational life. After primary school in Estonia you have two ways to walk: high school or industrial school, where they get profession.
Youngsters in United States of America and Great Britain have easier to make choice choosing a profession, because there they start to prepare people to get a job very early. High schools in Estonia teaches every subject almost equally, so everyone have to study everything, except for some schools that are oriented to teach few subjects in depth (IT classes , art classes etc). It´s much easier to make future career plans and to find suitable profesion if school teaches how to manage in real life with practical activities like different projects , presentations and so on. I think USA and Great Britain schools are very developed in teaching pupils how to think and find answers on their own because their school system supports learning through projects, teamwork , presentations. Estonian school system is obsolescent in my opinion. Children have to memorize a lot in Estonia, although Internet and libraries have all the answers. I think it´s a problem at this time that children in Estonia haven ´t as developed ability to find the answers and think of their own as children in USA or Great Britain.
Higher education system is pretty much the same in Estonia and Great Britain. Estonian and Great Britain student gets Bachelor’s degree in three years , in America within four years. In Great Britain there are two different degrees such as BA- Bachelor in art and BS- Bachelor in science . We call it just a Bachelor’s degree. The students can take full-time courses and study in the daytime, or they can enter the Open University and study by correspondence, attending distance learning courses.
There are many different educational systems in different countries. They all have their plusses and minuses . Every country has their own ways to teach and prepare children to become a successful adult, because every country has the same goal- to have as many well educated people as possible.
