Visit schools anywhere in the world, and you will probably notice a number of similarities.

There
are studdents, teachers, books, blackboards, and exams everywhere. However, a school system in
one country is not identical to the system in any other country. It cannot be exactly the same
because each culture is different. The educational system is a mirror that reflects the culture. Look
at the school system, and you will see the social structure and the values of its culture.
Mexico
In mexico, the educational system reflects some of the country’s many contrasts. On the one hand,
it is believed that the nation can achieve equality of rights for everyone through education. The
basis of the Mexican educational system is the country’s constitution, which was written in 1917.
It requires education to be free, compulsory, and universal it also states that education should
support nationall unity and lead to social, economic, and cultural improvement of the people. At
lower levels, this means that there is emphasis on the country’s rich cultural history. Children write
historical essays, participate in activities for national holidays, and read about national heroes,
especially native people (indians). However, it is often difficult to provide education in rural areas,
where many of the indigenous people live. People in these areas are poor and isolated
geographically. There aren’t enough schools, and rural teachers must be able to teach all six grades
of primary school. Also, traditions among some indigenous people do not typically include school
attendance.
Japan
The japanese value education highly. One statistic reflects this the japanese place such importance
on education that 88 percent of all students complete not only primary school but also high school.
Public schools are all both free and egalitarian; all students are considered equal and learn the same
material. For social reasons, it’s important for a student to receive a university degree and a degree.
From “ the right university”. To reach this goal, students have to go through “examinational hell”.
There are difficult exam for entrance to all universities, to many of the better primary and
secondary schools, and even to some kindergarlens! Japanese students need great discipline; in
order to make time for their studies, ther need the self-control to give up hobbies, sports, and social
life. Results of these exam affect the entire family because there is high status, or social position,
for the whole family when the children have high test scores.
Britain
In the united kingdom (britain), the educational system reflects the class system. All state schools
primary, secondary, and university are free, and the first nine years are egalitarian; all students
learn the same material. At age eleven, students take an importans national exam. After this, they
attend one of three possible secondary schools: college preparatory, vocational (for job training),
or comprehensive (with both groups of students). Ilowever 6 percent of british students attend
expensive secondary schools. These are students from upper-class families. Half of the students at
oxford and cambridge universities come from such expensive secondary schools. It might seem
that anyone can afford to go to a university because all universities are free, but only 1 percent of
the lower class goes to university. Because graduates from good universities get the best jobs, it is
clear that success is largely a result of one’s social class.
The united states
Education in the united states is available to everyone, but not all schools are equal. Public primary
and secondary schools are free for everyone; there is no tuition. Almost 80 percent of all americans
are high school graduates. Students themselves decide if they want college preparatory or
vocational classes in high school; no national exam determines this. Higher education is not free,
but it is available to almost anyone, and about 60 percent of all high school graduates attend college
or university. Older people have the opportunity to attend college, too, because americans believe
that “you’re never too old to learn”. On the other hand, there are also problems in U.S schools. In
many secondary schools, there are problems with lack of disipline and with drugs and crime. In
addition, public schools receive their money from local taxes, so schools in poor areas receive less
money. As a result, they don’t have enough good teachers or laboratory equipment, and the
buildings are often not in good condition. Clearly, U.S education reflects both the best and the
worst of the society.
Conclusion
It is clear that each educational system is a reflection of the larger culture both positive and
negative aspects of its economy, values, and social structure. Look at a country’s schools, and you
will learn about the society in which they exist
