By
standardized test scores, the two best
countries are South Korea and Finland.
What's interesting, according to those
who've studied it is that they take kind of
opposite approaches. South Korea's primary education is highly structured,
emphasizing memorization, long hours
and lots of homework. Finland, on the
other hand, apparently has a much less
structured system, which emphasizes
critical thinking, curiosity and real world applications. I think the
constant in
countries with the best education is that
they attract the best and most skilled
teachers, usually pay them well, and give
them a great deal of support.
