At Education Awareness we are studying primary and secondary education internationally to understand how Americans can take action to improve the quality of K-12 public education in America.
We plan to compare and contrast the education system in the United States with the education systems in Malawi, Kenya, Spain, Germany, Japan, and India. These comparisons will give American's an insight on how to improve the quality of K-12 public education grades in the United States. Researching the graduation rates, dropout rates, literacy rates, teachers salaries, and rates of students progressing to higher education in other countries will provide examples of the quality of their education which can be used to support new reforms in the American education system.
This video explains that students have 2 million minutes to make decisions and accomplish what they choose for the duration of their high school career. It includes a brief trailer of an actual documentary that follows 6 motivated and top performing students of their class, 2 from the United States, 2 from India, and 2 from China. It illustrates the differences in time management between the students of these countries. It is interesting to hear what priorities in terms of time each of these students have and determine who is getting the most out of their education and social life.
