notification bell as well because we're the best place on the internet for your

you can afford it consider sending them to one of the following countries we've
got a big report on the number-one country so make sure you stay tuned
throughout the whole video first let's go through a couple places where the
education system is good Japan Barbados Estonia and Ireland decent
school systems but not good enough for you to uproot your whole family for that
being said without further ado here are some of the best countries for your
child's education number six Qatar you might be surprised by this
entry but apparently it's true according to a 2012 BBC report this oil-rich
country was becoming one of the most significant players in the fields of
Education innovation supporting a raft of projects from grassroots basic
literacy through the high end university research in fact the country has been
going through a lot of education reform in the last couple of years they're
investing in education with their new vision 2030 program in fact the
independent reports that government-funded schools offer free
education but only two Qatari citizens and most
foreign nationals tend to send their children to private schools that's
awesome hooray but it's still the biggest polluter in the whole world at
least per capita boo number five the Netherlands if you're looking for your
kid to have a nice relaxing learning experience then consider sending them to
the Netherlands for their studies first off there are small number of private
schools and their students are still some of the smartest in the world which
shows how seriously they take public education the other schools are divided
between public neutral state sponsored schools and some other faith-driven
places a 2013 UNICEF study found that Dutch children were found to be the
happiest in the world in fact in terms of well-being they are the best in the
world this is partially because they don't give homework until the secondary
level and students report to have little pressure or stress
it sounds like pretty freakin relaxing no homework you're happy you get to
smell the tulips what's not to like
number four Singapore this Asian island has some of the best students in the
world they score very highly on their paisa program for international student
assessment tests which would obviously mean the kids in the country are pretty
darn smart the paisa for those who don't know is a measurement of how well
students from different countries perform sounds like a great environment
to foster a child's learning right wrong Singapore is like the opposite of the
Netherlands Keerthana que resident of the country called it a very restrictive
environment and the whole system has a reputation for putting a lot of pressure
on kids to succeed if you want your kids to just get smart without caring about
their mental health then Singapore might be for you if not then maybe try one of
the following three countries
number three Belgium this European country famous for their waffles and
chocolate should also be famous for its places of learning according to the
independent Belgium has four different levels of secondary schools namely
generally secondary schools technical secondary schools vocational secondary
education schools and art secondary education institutes that means that no
matter what your child's interests are or what they plan to do in the future
Belgium as a school for them also the people in the US who organize exchange
programs with Belgium and Luxembourg the Fulbright Commission had this to say
about the school system in the country education enjoys high priority and the
largest share of the regional government's annual budget in Belgium
complete systems of public and private schools are available to all children
between the ages of 4 and 18 at little or no cost number 2 Switzerland the
Nordic country is a pretty great place to send your kids to school the country
is beautiful the people are accepting in their government is pretty stable plus
their education system is top-notch for starters only 5% of children go to
private schools which is a testament to their public education you'll learn all
sorts of different languages depending on the region in this place including
German French or Italian best of all students are separated by ability from
secondary onwards which means their education will be more tailored to their
ability number 1 Finland many parents will research multiple
schools to make sure their child gets the best education possible while many
schools vary in quality one tiny nation has created an innovative system that
has consistently successful results Finland has ranked as one of the high
performing developed countries on the program for International Student
Assessment paisa for many years in a row and many believe the Nordic country to
have one of the best education systems in the world there are multiple
procedural standards and policies that separate Finnish schools from the rest
of the world which work as the secret to their education systems success here are
12 reasons you'll want to enroll your child in a Finnish school number one
more than just education is free considering that more than 12 percent of
Finland's total budget is allotted for education the nation's system provides
lunches for pupils school supplies and even special buses if a student lives
more than two kilometres away from school all for free
number two they let kids be kids students don't start formal schooling in
Finland until the age of seven the education system sees this importance of
allowing kids to learn through playing and exploring until they are actually
developmentally ready to learn InFocus
number three students choose their own paths students in Finland's first years
followed by nine years of compulsory school
however after ninth grade education is optional and students are given a choice
of three tracks to follow upper secondary school University prep
oriented vocational education career oriented program or entering the
workforce number four no bad teachers primary education is the most
competitive degree in Finland and is considered a prestigious profession it's
a highly sought after job to teach in Finland which guarantees only the top
educators number five no standardized testing Finnish students have routinely
achieved top scores on international math and reading tests but their
educational system doesn't actually include standardized testing outside of
one at the end of the senior year in high school this allows teachers
flexibility in how they structure their lessons and get their students to focus
on the given subject being more interested in human aspects rather than
statistics number six less homework and more participation Finnish students
acquire less than half an hour of homework each night and have the least
amount in the world the benefit of this is that educators ensure students work
diligently during class time so they can spend more time with family while at
home
number seven students are taught valuable life skills Finnish schools go
beyond the traditional curriculum and teach students valuable skills that will
be needed in the future such as how to use technology interactive skills
entrepreneurship and critical thinking Finland's education system puts an
emphasis on understanding rather than memorizing number eight more playtime
finish Elementary students get around 75 minutes of recess per day and spend less
than 300 hours per year in the class the belief behind this is that kids
naturally have a lot of energy and when they have more opportunity to play they
will be more focused during class number nine everyone has an equal chance
Finland school system is based on equality to ensure that everyone has the
ability to develop their individual potential there are no elite schools as
every institution works the same and students attend the nearest school to
them regardless of a person's gender background or social welfare status
every Finnish students has an equal opportunity to thrive number 10 fewer
students considering Finland has a population of
only 5.5 million people a teacher will only have three to four classes of 20
students a day which is significantly less than the most teachers in the
United States this allows students to get more individual attention and
ensures no one slips through the cracks
number 11 more depth rather than more topics less is more for the Finnish
education system students aren't forced to cram a bunch of knowledge in a short
amount of time instead Finnish teachers take their time with one topic looking
deeper into it and look at it from different angles number 12 students
spend much more time with teachers elementary schools students in Finland
will often have the same teacher for up to six years of their education instead
of being passed on to new educators annually teachers are able to truly
understand the individual and structural needs of their pupils and that ends our
