I just looked specifically at Finland's education system and found a big difference with the US system in structure. The difference occurs after 9th grade.
In Finland, after 9th grade, you must apply for and be accepted into secondary education schools. In the US you automatically get pushed into secondary education.
In Finland only the selected move on to what we call High School.
In Finland you have competition to give a student a reasin to learn. In Finland you do not require a square peg to be pushed through a round hole.
Is your country more like the US system where everyone is moved through the system until they are 18? Or is your country more like Finland that reqires some sort of academic competence before entering secondary education?
