However, a World Public Opinion poll examines the opinions of people in different countries and the satisfaction of the education in their own particular country. This poll looks at whether people feel that should provide people with basic needs and their level of satisfication with each topic, education being one.
The first questioned addressed was whether government is addressed is whether the government is responsible for providing education.
The poll suggests that public opinion around the world is that the majority feel that the government is responsible, with few countries below 90%. I think that one reason for differences between countries is that people expect different things from their governments. In some countries, education may considered a privilege. In others, it may be that their are more options in private schooling and less emphasis on public schooling.
The other question regarding education was on how well the government is fulfilling the need of education.
The article explains that Kenya has a higher positive view towards the government efforts in education because of recent reform. I think lack of positive reform or less of an issue may result in lower opinion in the other countries. Once again, cultural expectations of what a government should do could play in less favorable results. Or as a culture the country could have higher standards. While my blog will primarily focus on American education, I find it interesting to see opinion on other countries. It makes me wish I knew more about the education systems in other countries.
