According to a 2006 survey by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which evaluates the scholastic performance of 15-year-olds in 57 nations every three years, South Koreans rank first in reading, third in math (tied with Hong Kong), and 10th in science (tied with Liechtenstein). More than 97% of South Koreans graduate from high school, the highest graduation rate in the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>South Korea emulates the pressure-cooker classroom environment common in Japanese schools:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>South Koreans attend school 220 days per year, almost two months more than the 180 days of Americans. (The Japanese enroll an astonishing 243 days per annum; South Korea abdicated first place in 2005 when its students ceased going to school half days on Saturday.) What distinguishes South Koreans from everyone else, however, is the immense number of hours they study outside the classroom. High schoolers, and even middle schoolers, in South Korea are often engaged in scholastics until midnight or 2 a.m. After taking classes in up to 11 subjects, they attend private academies called &#8220;hagwons&#8221; where they obtain supplemental learning. The bottom line? Most South Korean children spend 13 hours a day or more with their bottoms glued to a chair.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Should Western schools try to emulate this intensity in an attempt to match South Korea&#8217;s outstanding performance? The answer is a resounding NO. Finland offers a far better model.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Although these grueling schedules help South Korea&#8217;s high test scores, the nation is remarkably inefficient at another PISA criterion known as &#8220;study effectiveness.&#8221; When PISA calculates each nation&#8217;s achievement based on the number of hours spent studying, South Koreans rank only 24th out of 30 developed nations. The winner in study effectiveness is Finland, the world&#8217;s true PISA champ, placing first in science, second in math, and second in reading. Finnish students only attend school 190 days per year (two weeks more than U.S. children) and receive less than a half-hour of homework per day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Finland is #1 in study effectiveness, achieving outstanding results with little of the &#8220;meat-grinder&#8221; approach common to so many education systems:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Never burdened with more than half an hour of homework per night, Finnish kids attend school fewer days than 85% of other developed nations (though still more than Americans), and those school days are typically short by international standards&#8230;..Finland downplays educational competition in a number of ways. Schools aren&#8217;t ranked against each other, and teachers aren&#8217;t threatened with formal reviews. At many schools, teachers don\u2019t grade students until the fifth grade, and they aren\u2019t forced to organize curriculum around standardized testing&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Surely this is a model worth emulating? I would be interested in the views of any readers who are employed in education.<\/p>\n<p>Read more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatschools.org\/students\/2453-finland-education.gs\" title=\"Great Schools: The Finnish Miracle\" target=\"_blank\">Great Schools: The Finnish Miracle<\/a><br \/>\nand <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatschools.org\/students\/academic-skills\/2427-South-Korean-schools.gs\" title=\"Great Schools: Lessons from South Korea\" target=\"_blank\">Great Schools: Lessons from South Korea<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hank Pellissier at GreatSchools examines the education system of over-achiever South Korea: &#8230;South Korea is often regarded, along with Finland, as one of the two premier K-12 education systems in the world \u2014 in no small part due to the spectacular academic performance of its students.
