Education around the World – UK system compared to Sweden


The Education System in the UK has been heavily apparent in the media over the past four years. In this month, I have seen documentaries where pupils from Wales have been sent to South Korea, educational experts have been researching the Finnish system and how the Shanghai methodology for maths is the best!

The UK was ranked 26TH in the PISA table (2014), which probably the main reason behind the New Curriculum 2014.  I am sure that most teachers will agree that the new curriculum is too much, too soon for a majority of our pupils. It has put pressure on kids and teachers, and has definitely narrowed the curriculum in a majority of schools. This debate is for another time.


This comparison has been created by Emma Breen that compares the UK Educational system to the Swedish Educational System. It is super interesting and thank you to her for letting me share this!
