Is the education system in your country adequate?

No, the standard of education and the system of education in my country is becoming inadequate. The good educators who have in them the heart and passion for teaching are leaving the country in search for a more challenging job and a greener pasture. Most of the educators now are seemingly focused on just earning for a leaving but not being passionate about really teaching and assuring that students learn at the end of the semester or school year. Educational is essential to one's development. If we loose all the opportunity to grab the benefits it should give provide us, we have just wasted our time in school. I find that it is a must to have a good educational system or to attend to a good school where the standard of education is too high. It will not only be an advantage but an opportunity in the future. My country may not be at par with the first world countries and I may not have the chance to experience education set in those countries but I have little resources to use. If I use the little that I have, I am not only putting my foot forward to gaining what first world countries are experiencing but I'm also winning myself a reward that I will soon reap in the future. One good example is technology and the cyber world. Internet is one good resource that we can use to at least fill in the missing links and learn from people around the globe. Should we just sit and pity our circumstances and unfortunate cases? I strongly believe, there is always a way to those who find and seek for themselves a treasure and a good fortune. We can still do something! ------- [b]Daeckardt, please make some evaluations. How do you find mine? Thanks! I am interested in learning more! [/b] Smiles, JNY

I've never thought that the education system in my country was adequate. Ever since I was in school, the mentality of the teachers have always been to just get us past the exams. We're too exam orientated. Some of the teachers would go a bit further than this and tell us that we don't need to know certain topics because they won't come out in the exams. We don't have enough programs to cultivte our creativity. And most schools don't have any kind of cultural programs.

Actually I hate exams,it always makes feel nervous,but in China we cant avoid it. I'm about to graduate from college,so finally I can say goodbye to those exams. We have been discussing our education system for a long time,like how Chinese kids get all the gold medals in all kinds of worldwide math competition,physics competition and so on but come out as a average person when they get to college or graduate from college. I think we should weaken the importance of the exams, for they killed all the fun of learning,give the students more free choices to actually learn what they actually like,those kids get the gold medals maybe they dont not like math or physics at all,they are just very intuitive about these so teachers and parents push them to learn them just for the competition. I think this is a very complex issue,one society might use hunderds of years to figure this out,to find a real suitable education system for their people. It is funny Chinese kids have to show great respet for their teachers and must keep absolutely quiet and put their hands on their desks when they are having their classes ,while American kids can set in a circle and finish their classes like playing a game. We emphasize discipline ,too much maybe.

I am from Slovakia and I think education in my country is very good. I am judging so positively because I see how many young people has a succes in forign countries. I like the fact that our universities are free so every student has a chance to apply and can show theirs skills. Getting to the University is not easy, but it is undertandable, since so many young people are hungry for new information. But any aducational system is not perfect and there are few things I would like to change. I would put more qualified teachers to the schools, specialy for teaching langauges so young people will really learn other languages, because they are so important today. Also I would not teach so much of grammar , but practise more conversation and build good vocabulary with students. Because knowing grammar , but didn't undertsand to another person is not much of help, when you go to the other country. Also there are many other subject where student have to memorize things and that is not difficult, but also not very affective since after few days, you don't remeber much of it. It would be better to teach more with practical experience then only learn things quick just to pass exam.

I'm from Sri Lanka and our education system is very good for a developing country.... Here education is free ( no cost involved) in government(govt) school which was started in 1948 and still continues... Govt is bearig the cost from primary school grade 1-5 & secondary level of 6-13. Thre is a entrance exam in grade 13 in islandwide which decide who is going to universities for higher education which also are free and only 10-15% of who pass the exam will enter the university ( for engineering, medicine, management, etc....) The things I felt was lack in our system is, 1. You don't get exemption for the grades which means you need to finish all grades eventhough you are exceptionally good. Any student who are comming out from university will be 25yrs or more which is 1/3rd of our life. 2. Since all are managed by the govt, there are lack of resources for the people who are doing higher education Other than that there is a private sector as well for the education who will support the population who can afford their cost ( which is very high for a average family in the country) I'm a grdauate from the free education system so i'm proude of that..... 2.
