Top of the class.

In an international comparison of different countries across the globe South Korea comes top of the class in educational achievement. Followed by Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Finland, UK, Canada, Netherlands, Ireland and Poland. This data was provided by Peason/Economist Intelligence Unit. The tests combined scores from a variety of sources including from the OECD Pisa, Timss and Pirls. Pearson have created and information hub with a databank of education information for 50 countries. There is a clear link and association between educational achievement an economic progress. Its interesting to note that the four best countries are all in the Far East. What are they all doing right? What is more difficult to measure is what some British schools are good at, and that is 'individually motivated creativity'. Not just rote learning as the children of South Korea as exposed to, but finding out the individual creativity characteristics within that individual. With that coupled with group learning can be the best learning experience for all students in education.
