Some interesting facts about education system of different countries
Juku SchoolsMany children pay to attend special "juku" or "cram" schools where they study at night, on weekends, and holidays, hoping to improve their chances at getting into better schools - from primary to university. Students begin studying English in 7th grade, but many start much earlier - with parents sending them to English classes, sometimes starting at age 3-4.
Life-long learning is popular in the U.S., where one can find courses and books on just about anything through all sorts of independent schools, community programs, colleges, and universities. The U.S. has always been a leader in distance learning or "correspondence courses," and many of these programs are now available online, through "e-learning."
The Chinese pay huge respect to their teachers - past and present. Chinese culture places very high value on age and wisdom, and the Chinese term for teacher literally translates to "old master."
In 1837, German education pioneer Friedrich Fröbel started the first kindergarten, which means "garden of children," as a place where pre-school-aged children could learn, play, and grow together.
In some Indian urban areas, education is so good that Indians are running American busseneses from the other side of the world. In other areas the quality of education is generally not as good. Many villages don't have schools, and children may not be able to travel to the nearest school.
Iranian women are finding a better chance for education than in many other countries: approximately 45% of Iranian students are female!
