Topic Reading-Vol.2335-9/2/2018

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Which country has the most expensive education?
In many countries around the world, tomorrow is the day students begin or go back to school. It is the day they start a new school year or term. How much parents of students spend on their child’s back-to-school necessities varies widely by country. American parents spend whopping $685 on average. But that’s just part of the total spending on education. The combined expenses to have a child finish primary to undergraduate school, including class fees, books, transport, and accommodation range widely from France’s $16,000 to Hong Kong’s $131,000.
Another big difference is how much time students spend in school. While primary students in Russia spend just over 500 hours a year, those in Denmark stay around 1,000 hours in class.
Also, Australians spend 22.9 years on average from primary school to college. That’s a very long school life expectancy, isn’t it?
The question is how these differences in time and spending on school make a difference in their lives.
Enjoy reading and learn differences in education among developed countries.
