Countries number one and two in the world in the latest global ranking of student academic performance: Finland and South Korea. The U.S. ranked number seventeen, down with Hungary and Slovakia.
We know we can do better, but the interesting thing about the top-ranking two is how very differently they achieve success.
South Korea, super-intense. School all the time. Finland, strikingly laid back. Teachers called by their first names. And yet they both pin the needle on outcomes.
This hour, On Point: two different paths to the very top in education, and what the U.S. can learn.
