Which country in the world has the best primary education system?
438474
to be honest i dont have a site to give you or a specific list.  but the type of primary education that you think is best is based on your opinion of what is necessary for the early years of learning, how do you want that foundation built?  do you want a very structured environment that focuses on math, science, and language structure? or do you want an open environment where opportunities for exploration and creation are provided while teaching a solid foundation of skill and knowledge?  i think it is best to look at the different options there are in primary education and deciding what is best for your child.

People in wealthy countries are better educated.

I was only able to obtain statistics for the United States. About 1% percent of people over 25 years old living in the US have doctoral degrees. About 2% have terminal professional degrees (considered to be equivalent to a masters degree or higher). Some people lump doctoral and professional degrees together.\nThis is the highest in the world (Because our salaries are better not because we educate people better or are smarter)\nMajor countries with similar educational expectations (that is the level of education the average person attains over a life time)  for children born there include: United Kingdom (England, etal., world's highest), Australia , Spain, Switzerland, Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Republic of Korea (South), Libya, Netherlands, New Zeeland, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden. Given the total population of all these countries v the remaining world population, it is safe to say less than one in 1,000 people in the world holds a PhD and given that population growth rates are higher in ares other than those countries named it is unlikely to improve.

I don't know about all schools, but:\n\nBiggest High School in the World:\nThe Rizal High School in Caniogan, Pasig City (eastern Metro Manila) is said to be the world's largest high school in terms of student population. The school has more than 20,000 students.\nhttp://www.txtmania.com/trivia/biggest.php

Theres no such thing, because each US state (& then there's the US national standards) & each country have their own educational standards. You can't compare worldwide because of economic and cultural differences. Usually there are some very good schools in metro areas, but there's always the downfall of them being huge and overcrowded even though they have an abundance of resources. Suburbs and rural areas are sometimes the place to look. The circumstances vary so much from person to person and school to school, that that's why so many schools exist --- to harbor everyone's needs.

Every human being should have the opportunity to make a better life for themselves. Unfortunately, too many children in the world today grow up without this chance, because they are denied their basic right to even attend primary school. A sustainable end to world poverty as we know it, as well as the path to peace and security, require that citizens in every country are empowered to make positive choices and provide for themselves and their families. This can only be achieved if all the children of the world are given the chance to learn in a high-quality schooling environment at least through primary school.

There are about 192 countries in the world (but obviously some countries are disputed, and parts of a country are breaking off etc.)\n\nThe largest country by area is Russia and the largest country by population is China.\n\nThe smallest country by area and population is the Vatican City (Holy See) a small country which is more like a city in the middle of Rome.  But none the less, it is an independent state.

It depends on accreditation standards. It depends on which standards are used.\n\nI don't think there is a hell of a lot of difference between accreditation standards from country to country. I think Europe's standards are as high as other parts of the world. \n\nThe United States doesn't necessarily have the best standards. And maybe Japan or India or South Africa are better. You can't tell until you find out what the standards are and how they apply to each and every school and every country in the world. \n\nThat would be an awesome task if it were your job to do that.

School is incredibly hard in China. Students have a lot of pressure to get into a good school and keep getting good grades. China doesn't have free education. Although there are public schools, they require tuition, and the price may vary depending on how good the school is. Families with a low income can only afford an average school, while a wealthy family can afford a better school. Students are very competitive because everyone wants to be the best, or number one. But everyone can't be number one, because it's impossible. In China, if you're not number one, you're nothing. To be number one, students study everyday. Besides regular school, they take additional classes in an attempt to have that upper edge. Students usually don't watch TV, or hang out with friends, or do normal stuff, because they are always studying.

The Indian system of education is arguably the best in the world. I read somewer that Steve Balmer, the founder-CEO of Microsoft said that the next Bill Gates would be from India and also that the world depends on India for innovation. That just goes on to show that the Indian education system rockz. Forget what the pest, er.. pessimists say.

Please see the list in the sources section, but there are several countries that share the #1 spot at 99.9% literacy, but I'm not sure how you want the information presented, so I'll just give you the link and you can sort the data how you see fit :)

This is what I found on the site noted below.  There is a lot more info if you want to look it up.\n\n"Children between the ages of three to six go to kindergarten. There they study language, math, singing, and painting and participate in sports. However, because there is a shortage of room, many children do not get to participate in pre-school education. But, because of the importance placed on education, that is changing.\n\nAfter kindergarten, the educational system is broken into three stages. Primary school, secondary school and then the university. Primary school is required and last for six years. Although in the more rural areas of China, the schooling is always enforced.\n\nWhile in primary school, the students are exposed to math, Chinese and one foreign language, English or Japanese. These are the main subjects, however they covered is Biology, music, art, politics, history, physics, chemistry and geography.\n\nOnce they complete with their primary school education, an exam is taken before they proceed to the next stage � secondary school. This also lasts for six years, broken down into middle and upper school. A student will go to middle school for three years, upon which another exam is taken before proceeding into upper school. The student who completes the middle school stage may then proceed into vocational colleges.\n\nPrimary and middle school is required, but from here on they have the choice to quit or continue their education. Within the vocational schools there are three types: technical secondary schools, vocational high schools and skilled worker�s schools. With technical schools the idea is to create managerial personnel for the front line of production. With vocational high schools, the training is focused on certain professional skills. Lastly are the skilled workers schools.\n\nThese are for bringing about technical workers. Essentially, a vocational school allows a student to study technical, teacher training or agricultural courses. How well they do with the upper school education depends upon if they can meet the university entrance requirements, which are known to be difficult and demanding.\n\nThe highest level of education that one can receive in China is a university education. This is something that is offered to a small amount of Chinese. For instance, in 10,000 students only 18 will be offered a university education. The main study at universities is in humanities and science, although there is an interest in architecture and engineering. However, the emphasis is usually placed on scientific and technical education.\n\nOnce the students finish with their university education, it is up to the authorities to find them employment. Also, on a small scale, is the emergence of post-graduate study. Today, China has a post-graduate education system in place."
