Educational System in your country Let`s talk about how the educational system works in our countries?

In Brazil it works in a very separatist way, we have public schools and private schools ... public schools, in its big majority, are very precarious in many aspects, from the lack of organization and money to administrate this kind of institution to the lack of a real education ( which fits to both type public and private in most of the cases ). In the category of private schools, we have the sub categories, the one which is financially accessible, the expansive kind and that one only a few can actually pay for. I myself have always studied in the financially accessible ones, which could already offer a lot more than any public school. 
There is a quote very often used which says " It`s the student who makes the school good " so it eliminates the teachers actions to make the school good, eliminates the books, and etc. But I don`t agree with this quote, I don`t agree because I think it is not only the student who will make the learning significant and the school a good place, it also includes the teacher, who can change your mind on a specific subject either to a positive or negative side, the teacher`s method to teach counts a lot in this learning process for a student, motivation is another very important point, and schools doesn't give enough importance to this aspect, a discouraged student learns much less, and this motivation comes from the method of teaching, which unfortunately is very backwards and needs to change for better. 

So many important issues are left aside due a corrupt government, where the money from taxes are very bad administrated and spent with personal interests of politicians. The lack of a good education is something essencial to keep people`s mind blind to see how wrong it is. 

The education system in Brazil ( and I believe in many other countries) is full of failures 
Well, summing up my point of view, I think the real education stimulates people`s creativity, but the education which is given makes the opposite path, it cuts creativity and creates frustrated people. 

Well, there is so much to be said about it, but basically that`s what I think.

Leave your point of view on the education system in your country.

Peace.

I agree with your opinion, I always studied in public schools in Brazil and I know and this is reality. Often lack the basics to provide education in reasonable minimum for students. Sad reality.

Reflection of the government ;(

In a way, education system is a mirror to reflect the existent social atmosphere how you live, work and think.

In Korea, the educational system is FOR the teachers and not for the students. In Korea, since the teachers need to find employment, if the Korean government declared that only teachers who could speak English like natives and understood the grammar like natives and could write like natives could teach English, there would be a big outcry and strikes and so on paralyzing the educational system and society in general and maybe the government would be kicked out because of that. 

So nothing gets done and you have these Korean teachers teaching their weird Koreanized version of English ("Korean pidgin English" along with large doses of Korean grammar and Konglish words mixed in) to the students. 

The textbooks aren't much better. So many mistakes to be found there. It's no wonder all the Koreans you meet make exactly the same mistakes. 

And there's no point convincing them that they're not good at grammar. They think that because they studied lots of grammar they are good at it, but it's not proper grammar - it's grammar that Korean people teach to each other. There are mistakes even in the basic grammar that's taught. There is a popular textbook that's used in Korea and it teaches things like "elevenst, twelfth, ..." in it - too many errors everywhere to recount ... 

The exams are also oriented for Korean teachers. They do not test speaking and writing because Korean teachers can't write or speak English well themselves. How are they supposed to mark a student's essay when their writing is worse than a five year old native speaker's? So the tests are based on MCQ using ridiculously difficult texts, and the utility of what students study for exams serves no practical purpose in the real world. 

Plus the fact that Koreans tend to live in a bubble and not realize how much their English sucks compared to many other foreigners (잘난 척하는 사람들은 많다 특히 한국 영어 선생님들) - all of this makes for a bad educational system.
