Practice of education with its roots goes into the deep layers of human civilization. Education appeared along with the first people, but the science of it was formed significantly later, when there were already such sciences such as geometry, astronomy and many others.
The root cause of all scientific sectors - the needs of life. The time has come when the upbringing began to play an important role in people's life. It was found that society develops faster or slower depending on how the growth of the younger generations is delivered. There was a need to summarize the experience of education, create special educational institutions to prepare young people to life.
The fact that the economic development of the state directly depends on the level of development of science and education in the country is well known. This is an axiom that does not require evidence. Because education is the most effective tool that society has to resist the challenges of the future. It is education that will form peace tomorrow. About what is the educational systems of the world, which of them deserve special attention, and the conversation will go below.
20 best education systems in the world
Irina Kaminkova, "Cyville"
In the modern world, the importance of education is not in doubt with its close global bonds: the effectiveness of educational institutions makes a significant contribution to the prosperity of states along with other socio-economic development factors.
To assess and compare the quality of education systems, specialists have developed a number of metrics, among which the most famous: Pisa, Timss and Pirls. The Pearson Group since 2012 publishes its index, calculated according to these metrics, as well as on a number of other parameters, such as literacy level and the number of graduates in various countries. In addition to the general index, the two components are calculated: the skills of thinking and adhere to learning.
We note that there are no data in Ukraine in this ranking. The main reason is that for all the years of independence, officials in power did not bother to arrange and submit a single application for international testing. Obviously, despite the yaruing patriotic rhetoric, the development of the national education system and its promotion at the global level, to put it mildly, is not included in the circle of their interests. Here it is time to take an example from Russia, which, despite similar problems with the drying, fading and leakage of resources, still entered the twenty of the best and overtook (!) US.
In general, the development of national education systems in the world demonstrates the following trends:
the countries of East Asia are still ahead of the rest. South Korea is on top of the rating, followed by Japan (2), Singapore (3) and Hong Kong (4). The ideology of education in these countries is primacy of diligence over congenital abilities, clearly formulated objectives and objectives of training, high reporting culture and interaction among the wide range of stakeholders.
scandinavia Countries, traditionally holding strong positions, somewhat confused their advantage. Finland, the leader of the 2012 rating, moved to the 5th place; And Sweden dropped from the 21st to the 24th.
the position of Israel (from 17 to 12th place), Russia (upwards 7 to the 13th) and Poland (up four places to the 10th) improved, significantly improved.
developing countries occupy the lower half of the rating, Indonesia closes a list of 40 countries represented, I precedes Mexico (39) and Brazil (38).

Judging by the information provided, the money is an important factor for the development of the education system, but not the only one. In all countries leaders, education is an integral part of the culture and lifestyle:
not only parents and teachers, but the students themselves are interested in obtaining education, because It is highly appreciated in society and monetizes in the career growth process;
teaching is honorable as a career and has a high social status, although payment may be relatively low.
If children are growing up with you, and after reading this article, you suddenly thought about moving to Asia, look at the country that is much closer - Finland. By the way, according to the rating of knowledge of spoken English Finland ranked 4th in 2012. Want that kids knew English? Here is a great place to study.
What else can you like at the Finnov school:
training begins with 7 years;
homework do not specify;
no exams, until the child turns 13;
in the classroom classes with different levels of abilities;
maximum 16 students in classes with the study of mathematics and natural sciences;
a lot of time on the change every day;
teachers have a master's degree;
the preparation of teachers is paid by the state.
If the school is already behind, then colleges and universities of Poland offer a good level of education at prices comparable to Ukrainian, and an immeasurably best material base. Or Czech Republic. Or Germany. Or Canada ...
And what about Ukraine with her 100% literacy? Will she have to declare himself in world rankings? Can?
There are still chances. But only for this you need to learn to turn the golden batons back to the usual equipment of physical and chemicalbinets, computer classes and laboratories. And in no case to prevent reverse reactions.

Education index in the countries of the world (Education Index) is a combined indicator of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). One of the key indicators of social development. Used to calculate (Human Development Index) in the framework of the special series of reports of the United Nations () on the development of a person.
The index measures the achievements of the country from the point of view of the achieved level of its population for two main indicators:
- Adult literacy index (2/3 Weights).
- The index of the aggregate share of students receiving primary, secondary and higher education (1/3 of the weight).
The two specified measurements of the level of education are reduced in the final index, which is standardized as numerical values \u200b\u200bfrom 0 (minimum) to 1 (maximum). It is believed that developed countries should have a minimum indicator of 0.8, although many of them have an indicator of 0.9 or higher. In determining the place in the world ranking, all countries are ranked on the basis of the education level index (see below the rating table by country), where the first place corresponds to the highest value of this indicator, and the last one.
Data on literacy of the population comes from the official results of national censuses of the population and are compared with the indicators calculated by the UNESCO Institute of Statistics. For developed countries that no longer include literacy in the population profile, literacy is taken equal to 99%. Data on the number of citizens enrolled in educational institutions are aggregated by the UNESCO Statistics Institute based on information provided by the relevant government agencies of the countries of the world.
This indicator, although it is quite universal, has a number of restrictions. In particular, it does not reflect the quality of the education itself, which in some cases can be very low or substantially limited. He also does not fully indicate the difference in the availability of education due to differences in age requirements and in the duration of training. Indicators such as the average training duration or the expected duration of training would be more representative, but the relevant data is absent in the statistics of most states. In addition, the indicator does not take into account students studying abroad, which can distort data on some small countries.
The index is updated once every two or three years, with reports with the UN data, as a rule, are discarded for two years, as they require international comparison after publishing data by national statistical services.
