高校生用｜英語長文問題83（教育）117語＋和訳・解答解説

Education systems differ widely among countries, and these differences shape how students learn and grow. In some nations, such as Japan, students follow a national curriculum and take important exams that strongly influence their future paths. In contrast, countries like Finland place less emphasis on testing and give teachers more freedom to design lessons. Class sizes and school schedules also vary. While some countries have long school days with many subjects, others focus on fewer subjects but encourage discussion and independent thinking. These approaches reflect different views about the purpose of education. By comparing education systems, we can better understand our own strengths and weaknesses and consider how schools might improve learning for students in the future.
