A child’s ability to learn and understand the world around him is because of the education that they receive. The education system in each and every country tries to make sure that the future of tomorrow, which are our children, have the best education provided to them. The American education system is known in the world to be very effective, while U.A.E.’s education system is not well known and believed to be behind the times. The American education system has many similarities with the education system in the U.A.E., but there are some significant differences that need to be pointed out.
The American education system shares quite a lot of similarities with the Emirati education system. The Emirati school system, just like the American school system, has schools running under the private and public sector. The curriculum is handled by the State Board of Education in the U.S.; likewise, the Education Council handles the curriculum for its respective Emirate. Both the Emirati and American education systems have three levels in schools which include primary school, middle school, and high school. Furthermore, the hours and days spent in the academic year is the same and these two education systems provide almost the same subjects in their curriculum. Moreover, students are assessed by giving them class work, homework, tests, and exams in the American education system and Emirati education system.
The education systems in both the U.S. and U.A.E. have similarities in providing students time outside or within schools. In the U.S. and U.A.E. alike, students are allowed to go school trips to enjoy their time with their classmates. In addition to school trips, students can go to trips to do field study in factories or other places. Not...

...aught in details even in the biology classes. This difference may be due to cultural reasons, but this is a very sensitive topic amongst schools in a lot of countries.
There are many similarities and differences in the Emirati and American education system, but both try to provide the best education to their students. There are some similarities like the public and private sector, state and Emirates controlling the curriculum, educational levels, curriculum, time spent in and out of school, women’s education, and rate of drop outs that both the education systems share. But some factors like segregation, language used, different curriculum, way of teaching and sex education has made a big difference between the Emirati and American education systems. The most important part is for these education systems to educate the children and make them into better human beings.
The human mind is perhaps the greatest object on the earth, animate or inanimate, but without the proper training, the mind is a relatively useless tool. Through the development of formal education systems, humans as a whole have tried to ensure the training of all minds so as to continue prosperity for the world. Most of the time, though, education systems do not realize the harm they are doing to developing minds and the subsequent negative consequences. Among the largest of these inadequate education systems is the American primary schooling system. The American education system is in fact failing; it continues to deplete children of their natural creativity and thirst for knowledge while preaching conformity, which in turn creates an ill-prepared and incompetent public.

Education is the process of gaining knowledge, reasoning, and judgment that is passed on from generation to generation. The U.S provides an education system where their is no child is left behind. Every child in the U.S has the chance to get an education through public schools. Pre- K through k-12 is provided in public schools. All children have the opportunity of an education through the U.S system. As a country the U.S spends more money on education than any other country. Even though the U.S spends more money than any other country, it is still not the number one best education system. The U.S education system has many positive sides to it but at the same time it has some flaws. The U.S education system is not the most successful system in the world due to: teachers are not doing their jobs, standardized testing has become a big problem, and technology has it downsides on the U.S education system due to the wrong use.
The Ontario school system dedicates a great deal of the high school curriculum towards preparing students for University. Ontario high schools provide students with many courses that will help prepare the students that decide to go on to post secondary education. However, the Ontario School System lacks in preparing them for the most prominent aspect of University, stress. The Ontario school system does not prepare students for any of the on coming stresses which will be the number one factor in a students success or failure at University.
In Conclusion, although I have a partial disagreement with some aspects of the article, it was with great pleasure I read it because I found the way in which the author relates education with many features of the American Culture innovate. Furthermore, it is impressive the way in which the author relates his life memories with the weakness of the field where he works. Events that most of us have experienced have been converted into strong arguments by the author. Education has been one of the pillars of modern countries. Thus, Mark Edmuson message should be taken as a foundation to future education strategies. The way in he expresses his thoughts shows a big desire to see an education system evolving in tandem with the society welfare.
Education is one of the cornerstones and pillars to the establishment and preservation of democracy. In history, countless scores of philosophers and political thinkers believed that only an educated citizenry can take on the quintessential task of upholding democracy. Thomas Jefferson, the primary writer of the Declaration of Independence, stated that “an informed citizenry is the only true repository of the public will.” A renowned defender of public education, Jefferson proposed plans for an education system that included grammar schools in his presidency. As a result of these relentless policies for education, the United States expanded on the concept of public instruction through the establishment and upkeep of a practical education system. The United States continued this tradition and established a reputation as one of the best education in the world. Currently, this is no longer valid as other countries such as Finland, China, and South Korea are competing for the dominant position through rigorous reforms that aim to boost student performances (“Best Education”). Meanwhile, the American system is inefficient, inhibited by political obstacles and gridlock while Finland, the top ranked country in terms of schooling, is continuing to improve. According to the PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) examinations that tested pupils across a variety of subjects such as reading, mathematics, and science of 2009, Finland’s students were ranked among the top (“PISA 2009”). The American students were ranked below average for industrialized countries in the world, revealing the reality of the educational crisis in the country. Finland’s education system, compared to the Americans, offers major differences that greatly ...
Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, the American educational system has undergone much transition in response to our changing society. Though there have been many problems raised throughout the years in regard to what our school systems should be teaching our children, there have also been many developments.
Chinese education is depend on the population of China and National Higher Education Entrance Examination. Compare to China, where students have no choice but well perform well on test to be attend to college. American students have more choice to college such as community college or going to four year college after high school. Even though, American education is not doing well now, but there still has some good advantages. Therefore, America can keep their good advantages and creative new way to improve their education system. It better than emulate other countries education
The schooling system has become an accepted part of young education in America. Although this system creates a standard system without much deviation, it still provides children with many opportunities to develop their passions. Many people feel constricted by this set education, however, this education is the key to success later in life. The skills learned not only academically, but how to behave in a scheduled environment, guide children to behave correctly throughout their lives. The schooling system uses ideas of conformity to make children value the idea of working together while still gaining an abundance of knowledge.
The urge to deliver quality education to the citizens of a country cannot be ignored with the current world. Educations is now being termed as the solution to almost all problems but not limited to. It is through education that a good task force for the future is created. In addition, the life kills acquired through education through mingling with and meeting new students from diverse backgrounds are useful to the students in future life. This has necessitated the urge to have the governments set different education reforms for their country. This essay seeks to look into the various education reforms in the USA (Berry and Adamson).
The education system has been a controversial issue among educators. Requirements of school do not let student choose what they want to study for their future. It’s a big issue to force student study specific curriculums, which don’t help them improve, and what they like to create something. Educators choose a general system for education to all students which based on general knowledge. Intelligent or genius students have to be in that system of education, which doesn’t let them improve their creativity. Educators attempt to change that system to make it better, but their changing was not that great to be an example for the world. Also, did that change qualify education system to compete other systems or not? In some examples and reasons have been made me agree with some of points from Gatto’s and Edmunson’s and disagree them.

As schools and school systems continued in colonial America “ The first American education theory and practice tended to reflect European patterns”. Most education systems are based off each other. They share a lot of aspect for example getting children and
The world grows smaller and smaller as time goes on; maybe not literally, but definitely through some points of view. With everything and everyone being more connected than ever now thanks to advances in communicational technology and with the merging of cultures from all over the world, a suitable form of education needs to become the standard to accommodate such a world. Global education teaches students about the world’s different cultures, traditions, religions, languages and other important global factors contributing to our modern world. According to various recent studies, The U.S. falls behind many other nations regarding their global education standards (Webb). How then, can the U.S. or any other nation with similar education struggles
