Every few years, countries around the world compete in global rankings to see which nation is deemed to have the best school system in the world. Schools in Asia often get the best results, and other countries like Estonia and Canada are also highly praised. But in many parts of the world there are often huge barriers to getting children into the classroom at all, such as poverty, climate change, and war.
On this episode of The Global Story, Lucy Hockings speaks to the BBC’s Sean Coughlan and Professor John Jerrim, from University College London, about which countries have the most successful education systems in the world and what others can learn from them.

East Asian education systems can be quite harsh . heavily focused on memorisation with little balance between school and life. Many children spend more time in classrooms than at home, which feels unnatural and unhelpful. If you visit one of these schools, you’ll often see that creativity and social skills are lacking.
Not America 😂
so interesting
I have taught all around the world, including in the UK and eastern Asia. South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong don't do well because of the system, but rather because of the very positive attitudes of students and parents towards education. In the UK, particularly, we have to stop looking to blame teachers and schools, and instead consider the broader picture.
As a doctor in education living in Estonia for 20 years, I would like to invite you to check the figures of child and teenage self-harm and suicide within the "Top performing countries". Education and schooling are not the same thing! The pandemic we are witnessing is related to a decline in mental health both in kids and adults spending time in schools! The economy cannot be the driver in human. development and growth and, sadly, your programme is giving that impression.
PS. No mention to Pearson Education making money with the PISA test and selling resources to the countries participating.
It depends on the definition of “best”. Certainly I’m sure that my gov has a different definition than I do, they would think the best would be the one that has uses and abuses methods like control and brain washing and nudge methods. They want a population that goes along with their narrative and does as it’s good because it believes what the gov tells it. That’s not for me or my family.
All of the Gaza schools are destroyed by I$rael 😢
Islamic schools are the best school in the world
Do we still need them. The AI has taken center stage
Zero. None of them. Because school is not the place to learn anything it’s bogus
One world on system
Please make weathering people 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Recurring sign-offs and catchphrases increase memorability.
Hai semua, Saya dari Indonesia 😢
Canindia has the best schools in the world. You know why? Too many indians going to canindia to study.
Callbacks to older videos delight longtime fans.
Tutorials about viral tools remain perennially relevant.

5:32 Take a shot every time he says "kind of".
I think we need to measure schools in a holistic way. The lived experience of students should be measured along with learning skills needed for life and being able to think outside of just recalling facts. The way in which both students and teachers are treated should also be measured, along with the overall behaviour of teachers and students. Academic results don’t count much in adult life.
South Pasadena has all the special education students who do poorly on test, except from the standardized test they go off.
I think when we talk about successful education, we need to separate STEM to other fields of education. If a country like the US or China are clearly the best in STEM but not in the top 30 on overall. I find it ridiculous. You cannot tell me that doing really good in literature makes your country a higher education than a country high in STEM education.
It is an extremely brutal and inhumane act for some Japanese people to glorify the Class-A war criminals of the Japanese government, who allied with Hitler and launched wars of aggression, massacring countless civilians in other countries.
The attitude of those Japanese who praise these Class-A war criminals, who waged wars of aggression in alliance with Hitler, poses a serious and profound threat to world peace…..
Learn from Jewish education.
That is the answer.

What a great podcast, congratulations!
Very nice to watch something in a very high level.
Completely different from the BBC on normal tv, where interviews, debates, etc are impossible to watch because interviewers and guests can’t start and finish their point of view without being interrupted. It’s just people talking over each other, which is really annoying and makes me switch it off.
Just watching these sort of podcasts from now on.
