My daily life 5
Here comes my story for today.
Last year I attended an English class at university. The English teacher is a Canadian who has lived in Japan for many years. In one of the classes, we talked about the issue of compulsory education. I think most countries in the world would provide compulsory education for children. China offers nine years of compulsory education for children now, which means that every Chinese can complete at least a junior high school course. Japan also has a nine-year compulsory education. And Canada provides 12 years of compulsory education until high school graduation.
Students in China have many choices after completing compulsory education, but now more and more people will choose to continue their studies especially in the city. There is such a saying in China that knowledge changes fate.
Does your country provide compulsory education and how many years?

Here comes my story for today.Last year I attended an English class at university. The English teacher is a Canadian who has (if your teacher no longer lives in Japan, then it is "have lived" If your University is in Japan and that's where he is now "has lived" is correct) lived in Japan for many years. In one of the classes, we talked about the issue of compulsory education. I think most countries in the world would (would is also ok here, but do you mean "should" like it is something they must do? Because "would" suggests you think it's something that they all were probably doing, but maybe were not) provide compulsory education for children. China offers nine years of compulsory education for children now, which means that every Chinese person can complete at least a through junior high school course (this is just more natural.) Japan also has a nine-year compulsory education. And Canada provides 12 years of compulsory education until high school graduation.

Very well done, very minor mistakes and just clarification on meaning - my comments may be are wrong!
I'm from the US and we do have compulsory education through high school, but it is possible for students to "drop out" of high school. But it is near impossible to get a job with a wage that you can live on without a high school diploma or at least some sort of additional trade training (which may require a high school diploma.)
