 It will be interesting to know, what education is in the different countries of the world. For example, in Latvia there is an obligatory basic education (9 classes), and secondary (12 classes) Higher education it is possible to receive at 5 universities (if I am not mistaken) for money but while there are budgetary places which will  soon cancel.

In China,education levels vary widely across religions.

I used to live in countryside, people there don't pay more attention to the education.so many teens drop out.But in recently,out government are making progress in rural education.I believe someday it will be good.

Here it is all about either marks(grade) or money. A person like me has to really work hard to get a seat in an engineering college.

there are 9 years compulsory education here in china which means you're free charge to study at school from primary- high school. in the matter of fact, these 9 years still cost money due to other various fees claimed by different schools. when you got to university, you need to pay 5000-10000CNY as tutuion fees for one year.

but i think the chinese primary edcuation is the best in the world. cuz young children here have to learn alot of things related to language, math, hisotry, science, geography, history, politic, english….....
