 It would be very odd if the US didn&amp;#39;t have the largest number of exchange students since being the most populous western country it has the largest number of schools.

Actually, education not only influences our future, but also now and past. It has complex connection with economy, the mind of people and the entire society. The effort of eductional reformation is not immediate. Even worse,inappropriate reformations maybe lead to economical decline or social turbulence. In addition to the conservative minds of people and governmen. So it is not an easy thing to improve or reform an education system. Frankly speaking, Chinese eduction is not in the best lines. There are problems in our educaion. There are lots of persons and scholars who appeal for educaitonal reformation.

The quality of knowledge was exceptionally high. Unfortunately we can&amp;#39;t say so about modern Russia due to the changes that had been made according to the European and American Scholars that could influence the country&amp;#39;s education during perestroika. But we must admit that when a person is eager to get knoweledge he&amp;#39;ll get it. If not... no educational system can do it.

 When Taiwanese freelance writer Yolanda Chen told her friends she was moving to Finland with her diplomat husband, most of her acquantances knew nothing about Finland. Chen&amp;#39;s father-in-law remembered that musical education was of first-class quality in Finland. Yolanda Chen had written a lot about education, in which she took an interest on account of her two daughters. &amp;quot;But I have to admit that I couldn&amp;#39;t have imagined a Finnish school,&amp;quot; Chen says. 
 Now Chen has lived six years in Finland. The Finnish school was a positive culture shock for her. As a consequence of that, she had a book entitled Cherish Every Child published in Taiwan last July.

 Hi Clive 
 This was reported in the Finnish media as well. However, a few days later they said it all had been a misunderstanding or something - I don&amp;#39;t remember the details - and that Sarah Palin had never actually thought Africa was a country. 
 I do remember, though, the days of mirth when Ronald Reagan thought Bogota was a country!

Who does not believe that this is influencing our future heavily? As a student I am often confronted this topic. Neighbouring countries with the same language have different systems, different grades are given, heck, even how long school does take is different. Recent studies like the TIMMS for Primary Schools lead to discussions like to this one. How is it possible, that one county has &amp;quot;better&amp;quot; students than another? Does that depend on the education system? What can improve education? So many questions. I hope to see many opinions :)</description></item></channel></rss>
