Education is an important part of our life. Many young people tend to get education abroad nowadays and this rush is gaining popularity at an amazing rate. Parents eagerly send their children to western countries in pursuit of overseas diploma.

The majority of students want to study in English-speaking countries and it is easy to understand why. Firstly, they can improve their foreign language skills. Secondly, knowing English at a good level gives plenty of job opportunities. Thirdly, such countries as England, the United States and Canada are full of places of interest.

There are, of course, certain drawbacks. For example, high prices of foreign education. Parents need to spare at least 10 or 15 thousand US dollars each year for tuition fees. This amount is often out of average families’ budget. Nevertheless, most parents try their best to give their children prestigious education. And it’s usually worth it.

Studying abroad guarantees respect of others, stable career, bright future, lifelong friends from all over the world, and lots of useful skills. Besides, living abroad, students experience a totally different life. They contact people from other cultural backgrounds, which is rather interesting.

It is important to remember, that studying abroad is never easy. It requires hard work and a lot of effort. However the reward is the future of excellent opportunities.

The American system of school education differs from the systems in other countries.

There are state public schools, private elementary schools and private secondary schools. Public schools are free and private schools are feepaying. Each state has its own system of public schools.

Elementary education begins at the age of six or seven, when a child goes to the first grade (form). At the age of sixteen schoolchildren leave the elementary school and may continue their education at one of the secondary schools or high schools, as they call them.

The programme of studies in the school includes English, Arithmetic, Geography, History of the USA, Natural Sciences and, besides, Physical Training, Singing, Drawing, Wood or Metal Work, etc. Sometimes they learn a foreign language and general history. Beside giving general education some high schools teach subjects useful to those who hope to find jobs in industry and agriculture or who want to enter colleges or universities.

Education in Sweden

After graduating from secondary schools a growing number of Americans go on to higher education. The students do not take the same courses. During the first two years they follow a basic programme. It means that every student must select at least one course from each of the basic fields of study: English, Natural Sciences, Modern Languages, History or Physical Training. After the first two years every student can select subjects according to his professional interest.

The National Government gives no direct financial aid to the institutions of higher education. Students must pay a tuition fee. This creates a financial hardship for some people. Many students have to work to pay their expenses. The Americans place a high value on education. That’s why Kennedy said, “Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education”.
