I presume you refer to school education (ie up to say 16 year old) rather than university.
There is a problem with schools.
I shalll from this point refer only to UK schools as I could not say about USA schools as I do not know how theyy operate, only from what I see in the films.
The private schools (as in pa\id) often I would say a more rounded education this includes experiences. In deed I hol;d my hands up and say if I had children and the cash I would opt to send them to private school.
Bang gores my comunist belifes I hear you say.
And yes I am happy to admit to that.
This is mainly due to the current UK state schools.
Many I do feel are not very good.
Its a comlex issue is running a state school as do you teach children all sorts of lessens and give them the belife they could all become doctors when in fact most will simply work in the local factory.
Or do you teach them that they can become doctors. But if you do, do you keep all children together or seperate the more accademic ones so those who are britest become higher educated. But then you have a sistuation where those who are not so clever end up with a much lower education as well as less belife in themselves.
While with paid (private) education, you can be rather thick, but often the prestge of going to such a school can mean you get a position in a certain firm or goverment job.
We also have a problem in the UK of religoise schools, that are also state run. These schools can select children, on the basis of there religion, but at the same time can simply regect the thicker or problem children. Thus these kids end up in the pooter state schools with often no prospects.
So do you keep religouse schools or not. Many parents love them, and pont to the fact there results are better than non religouse schools. Yet when they can select the cream is it no wonder results are better.
Often in UK schools such as Frenchg is compulsary. Yet I suspect less than 0.00001% of those children who learn French will ever work in France, so is there any point to it.
And then polotics serves a great deal.
Different polotical parties and local authoraties all have different ideas and idealogy. You end up with a real mess.
Also to say we are in the UK our exams system is differnt in each EU country, so while we now have freedom to work in any EU country, the exams we take do not match this.
Irand is regarded to have very hard exams.
Another problem is we now have different systems in different parts of the UK, such as (as i have pointed out) university is free in scotland but not in england.
