Country With The Worst Education System In The World

Not only in developed country, underdeveloped country also has assumption that education is the most important thing to have. Education is the one of strongest weapon that people must have to fight backwardness in this modern era that keep developing. Unfortunately, not all of countries have competitiveness in education aspect.

An underdeveloped country with the worst education system that has tried to change the word "worst" to be "better" or even "best" in recent years. That is Burkina Faso, an agricultural country and a former colony of France. With the predicate of "the worst" country in education, actually its education didn't have any significant differences among countries all over world.

It has similarities with other countries' education levels, there are Pre-Primary School, Primary School, Junior High Scool, Senior High School, and Junior High Vocational School. In this country, the compulsory of study start from six until fifteen years old, which means that students in this country need to finish their study until Senior High School level, but unfortunately it is not enforced. Some of France's heritages this country still use are the model and educational language in learning proces.

Not really different from Indonesia, Pre-Primary education passes through for three years with the range of ages between three until five. Meanwhile, the Primary Education runs for six years, for the end they need to write their final task that determine their qualification to enroll in the Higher Scool.

The law in the country is regulating the amount of students in a class, maximal limit students per class are 65. But sometimes some of schools in rural area have less class room than school in general. So they used to limit the amount of students more than what it should be. So we can imagine how the condition in the class room will be and off coursely it will affected the effectiveness of learning.

In the Middle School, less students continue in this level rather than Primary School. From three million students that consist of Primary and Junior High School, only 22% students that enrolled in this level of education. That means which there are only 660.000 of three million students that are continuing their education to Middle School level. And after they finish their study at Junior High School, they will get their diploma to enroll theirself to either Senior High School or Junior High Vocational School.

When the students are entering the Secondary Education, they can choose Senior High School or Junior High Vocational School. For them who want to prepare themself for university, they can choose Senior High School. And for them who want to get preparation for work, they usually choose Junior High Vocational School. In the Vocational School they can learn many field of works, such as teaching training, nursing, and police.

Continuing education to university in this country is seems too expensive and difficult. Even, women in Burkina Faso has discriminated since there was a "proverb" which says that "women built home", that means women are only having activity that related to house keeping. This proverb makes women understimated in the name of education, for the result, there is only 1% percent of the population of women in this country that had succeeded pass through this education level.

Then I conclude that actually the Education System of Burkina Faso not really different from Education in Indonesia, because there are several part of Education System implementation that have similarity with Indonesia. So, based on the similarities of implementation in Education System with Indonesia, why does Burkina Faso's quality of education rank is so far from Indonesia? My hypothesis says that it is because of some of factors, such as, the number of adult literacy is only 50%, low parent income, language limitation, learning effectiveness, and the amount of available school that less than what Indonesia have.

It is little bit challenging to raise Burkina Faso as discussion topic because there were only few article which describe this unique country. Thank you for your visit

Men often complain, She is over-reacting and women complain, He doesn’t listen! (Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus)

I found a sub-chapter in the introduction which a little bit interesting to explain. Men often complain, She is over-reacting and women complain, He doesn’t listen!. Right, it is absolutely that man and woman have different habit in facing problem. You as woman doesn’t need to feel that if your partner suddenly be quite so he is distant or doesn’t interested on you anymore. When men are being quite that it is something they don’t usually do, they are actually thinking about the solving of their problem or recover their self for being under pressures. Let the men get into their “cave” so they will be getting out from it naturally when their problems become more easier or solved.

And you guys as men, we absolutely often face partner who keep talk to talk about problem that they are facing. We don’t need to bother about that, in this case let them pour their feeling out, you don’t ever interrupt their words or try to give them solution of their problems. You just need listen to them and after they’re  finish with their words, come up with your story too about how your day were until both of you didn’t relize that you are laughing together.

By implicate those habit to your partner, your relationship will be easier and romantic. Some of would laugh as well after read several pages because you are recognizing your mistake of mistreating your partner. And finally you are realize how much this John Gray’s book was helping you.

Actually i am not really sure about this book because my types weren't included in what this book mention about. I didn't come from both planet.
