Following on from the Finnish thread would be interest to hear what op think is the best ed system.
In the OT other posters suggested the Russia, Austria & Ireland have very good programmes.
It is fascinating how the countries differ so much however after doing a bit of research in Russia & Austria kids start school at 7 after attending free preschool & in Ireland kids get 2 year free preschool after they turn 3 so they start school at 5 or 5.5.
We are obviously failing here as English children start the year they turn 4. In Ireland, Russia,Finland & Austria they are in playbased preschools for at least 2 years after our children with no pressure so obviously that has to give the European children an advantage-they are ready & biting at the chomp to learn.... AIBU that we start our kids too young in the UK?
