Educational Trends Abroad
2010/04/14
As educators, it helps to be aware of educational models in other countries.

Check out this video from the BBC for a look at Finnish education: http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/2/hi/programmes/world_news_america/8601207.stm
And in contrast, the exam-based system of Korea. With the emphasis on exams and supplementing class time with private lessons and cram schools, this is closer to what most of us are familiar with in Japan.
