Compare And Contrast Education And American Education

It began as an ordinary day in Mingora, Pakistan, for a young girl returning home from school on her school bus. Suddenly, a masked gunman rushed into the bus and shouted, “Who is Malala?” Her friends on the bus looked back at her, and in the blink of an eye she was shot on the left side of her face. This incident was the spark that ignited a call for change in education around the world. Malala Yousafzai was the face of this change. She made significant contributions to female education rights by being an education activist and urging children to speak out and fight for their rights. She forever changed the lives of Pakistani girls who today benefit from free education and resources with numerous schools around their country.

Society in Pakistan is one that is by tradition male-dominated. Men are the breadwinners for their family, they are the ones with jobs, and they have say in the government. Women, meanwhile, are limited to a domestic lifestyle in which they are the caretakers for children and rarely are seen alone in public. Because of these roles, the education of girls is much less of a concern, leading to many women going to school for little, if any, time.

I found the Differences and similarities of both educational systems very interesting. The United States educational system is has three levels however; some school districts may subdivide elementary and secondary students to create separate schools at the middle and junior high level. Once a child turns five they begin kindergarten and stay in elementary until they graduate. From there they attend junior high, grades 5 through 8. All students enter into High School for grades 9-12 and if they are successful, they graduate with a high school diploma and enter the workforce or pursue higher education.

Here in America every single child is sent to school starting at the age of five years old for kindergarten, and sometimes as early as two years old for pre-school and continue on to get an education late into their twenties, some even going on to take classes the rest of their lives. Education in America is something that is readily available and even is required by law, but taken for granted by many children. On flip side third world countries often do not have schools or public education mandated by government, and most times it is not even available when most children yearn for it. Education is taken for granted in America, and in third world countries where education is almost completely absent something can be learned from their

With the development of the modern state, education has been a decisive factor in affecting the international status and impacts of a country. People pay more attention to education quality and provide advanced study facilities so that their country can have a faster development. With many conflicting different education forms, it is necessary to compare and contrast them for getting a better understanding of the education system in the world. The education here refers to teaching quality, different education level system, the policy and the well-being from the government about education. I will explain the similarities and differences about the education in Finnish and Japan.

They are not allowed to go anywhere without a male relative. Breaking these rules brings severe punishment, which may include public whipping or even execution.” (6) This is a challenge because the taliban are against girls so they don’t have the right to get a career or walk by themselves. Career is important because you need to be able to take care of your family and afford food. Finally one of the hardest challenges was that Malala and the other Jewish girls couldn’t get an education. The text states, “In January 2009, the Taliban ordered all girl schools to close. That included Malala’s school, which her father had owned for more than a decade. It was devastating news. School was one of the most important parts of Malala’s life-and a luxury she never took for granted.” (7) This is a challenge because the taliban are against girls so they don’t have the right to get an education or live normal. Education is important because if you are no learning you won’t know how to read or have a conversation.

“I don’t mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is an education,” said Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani activist for female education. In today's society, many people don’t realize how grateful they should be for the education they receive. Even the slightest education is much more than people were receiving just three centuries ago, and even more than people in countries besides the United States of America. In specifics, women and African Americans were once unable to pursue any form of education in the United States, along with many other ethnicities.

There are many reasons why girls in countries such as Afghanistan don't go to school one of them is that they don't have independence to make there own decisions.Malala explained this to us in document D where she said ¨In Pakistan when women say they want independence,people think we don't want to obey our father's,brothers, or husband.¨ She explained how her society view women having independence they view this as morally bad which has lead men to make the decisions and therefore have keep girl out of school.ANother big issue is that girl get married before they even turn 18 according to document A.To be exact 15 million girls are married before they turn 18 which turn into 18millon girls who drop out of school of who never went to school.Many of you might agrue that they all dont drop out that probabity ture but 99% will when you have a husban to take of and children and you don´t have the right to make destion an eduction becomes

It has become common in the modern era of America to forget that many nations are poverty-stricken and lacking proper education around the world. In the United States, most children take a bus, are driven, or walk a short distance in mild weather to reach school. The buildings themselves are typically modern and clean, with an abundance of high quality coloring supplies, binders, and notebooks. Pakistani children get none of these luxuries, particularly girls. Occasionally, parents are able to send their children walking to a small school building with underdressed and underfed students where often no teacher is present, but even this poor form of education is a rarity. Girls fare even worse with a 2:3 ratio of females receiving education to

The right to education is one important fundamental justice that everyone should have, but most times that right is denied. There 's many reasons why people, states or countries may not take education seriously. Pakistan is one country that has the most curtailment on education towards women. Malala Yousafazi became a young activist, she stood up for her people in Pakistan to restore the rights of education to women. Her journey began when she was just the age of fifteen; she was shot on her head near the school bus by the Taliban in 2012. After her surgery recovery, she addressed a speech to the youth in New York on July 12th. In 2013, Malala and her father co-founded the "Malala Fund" in supporting young girls like her. Malala accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on December tenth, 2014 with Indian children 's rights. She bravely continues to work hard and strive for education justice so that, one day, every child will receive an education.

Globally women do not have the same chances for an education like other women around the world. Malala Yousafzai is a prime example of women in Pakistan who are not allowed to have a good education like men in her country. As a young child, she defied the Taliban and demanded that all women get a fair education. According to britannica.com Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by a man that worked for the Taliban; She was shot due to standing up to them because she wanted equal rights for women to have a good

The education in both countries is completely different; the united states, education is based on rules, they make sure that everyone has the opportunity to go to school for example its by law

When Malala stayed in Shangla she explained on how going to school was, ” It took us more than a half hour to walk to school”(99). Malala’s cousin Sumbul, who lived in Shangla took this half hour journey everyday to school just to recieve a decent education which many students in America would not be willing to walk. On the last day of school at The Khushal School all the children were distraught about leaving, ” My friends and I all stood in the courtyard, hugging one another, too sad to leave”(84). These girls loved school with a passion which many children in the US could not say the same. Even after school had closed the girls of the former Khushal School attended secret school and put their lives at risk by doing so just to receive an education. I speaking for the students of America would say many of us would not go to school if our lives were at risk. I would also say that most students in America complain about going to school because its too much work or we might not feel like getting up and we take a privilege for granted. While students in Mingora would take the risks and get an education because they want

Sometimes, Americans tend to think that they are the best at everything, no matter what. However, if one looks at the facts, he would see that they aren't. In education, America is trailing behind many countries. In America there is much stress with schooling, and how it is so important to be successful. Things such as the length of school, cost of schooling, and the early ages of schooling, will show how countries such as the U.K. are surpassing the United States in education.

In the United States a lot of people take advantage of the education system because it’s free for girls and boys. The children are required to go to school and the government spends a lot of money in the education system. It’s hard for people who live in the United States to think going to school as a child is a privilege. That is not the case in many countries, only the children that can afford to can go to school they need to pay for their education. In According to Malala “I know the importance of
