SCHOOLS AROUND THE WORLD

Hi everyone! Im from Spain and I studied at the University in order to become an elementary teacher. I had the opportunity to teach in a Primary English school for a month two years ago, and I noticed that their way of learning is totally different from the spanish teachers. That's why I’d love the chance to know how schools around the world are, such their way of teaching, subjects, resources, ways to evaluate... That's a good in order to improve my way of teaching and learn new ideas for my futures classes.
If you are interested please let a message explaining how are your education system, you might talk about this issues:

 

- Obligatory subjects
- Optional subjects
- Is it obligatory to study a foreign language? what is it?

- What is the most important subject?
- The classes are more theoretical or practical?
- Do you use computers, tablets, digital whiteboards...?
- How the class is arranged? I mean, the children are sitting in groups, in line...
- When is an activity in groups, the groups are formed by children with the same level, different?
- What time do school start/finish?
- Teachers use just a book in their classes/ more than one book/ they make their own materials...
- How is the relationship between teacher-student, teacher-teacher and student-student?
.....

 

THANKS, I'm looking forward to read your answers! :)

In Sudan(Africa), the main language in use is Arabic, and sure there are some obligatry sujects ,like English ,Arabic,Mathmatics,and religion.The optional subjects like history,geography,and so on.

        In Sudan it is very obligatory to study English language,and there are (four)most important subjects(Arabic, English,Math,Religion).you can say it is 50% theotrical and 50%practical,and we use computers and tables.

 

           kids sit in lines,and in different level systems,Schools start at 7 am and finish at 2pm or 1:30pm,and teachers probably use book while teaching.

 

                 Talking about relations, let me say it is good specially between students and each other more than what it is between students and teachers.

Hi! I'm from Russia, I finished school 3 years ago, but I can share my experience. 

When I studied, there was no such thing as optional subjects, so we all just had the same classes. Although, there are different types of schools in my country. You can choose to study languages, economics, arts or physics and mathematics. The subjects are still almost the same for every school, the difference is in time spent on one subject. 

In every school pupils learn one, two or even more foreign languages (depending on school). It's common to teach English and German as a first and French as a second foreign language. 

Let's say, the most important subjects are those on which you have to take an exam at the end of 9th and 11th year at school. Then they are Russian language and mathematics. 

The classes in Russia are more theoretical, but when it comes to informatics (basic computer knowledge), physics or chemistry students are required to do some practical work or even projects. 

I guess, that's all for now, if you have any questions, feel free to ask :)
