EDUCATION SYSTEMS AROUND THE WORLD: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES, PRACTICES, AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of education systems 
across diverse global contexts, aiming to explore how institutional structures, cultural 
values, and policy frameworks influence educational quality, accessibility, and student 
outcomes.  In  an  increasingly  interconnected  world,  education  systems  are  under 
growing pressure to prepare learners not only for national labor markets but also for 
global citizenship. As such, understanding the similarities and differences among these 
systems  provides  valuable  insights  for  policymakers,  educators,  and  researchers 
seeking to improve educational practices.
