Education has a unique color in every corner of the world. In some places, students start their day with open discussions; in others, skills are honed through real-world experience; and there are places where technology becomes the "constant companion" of every lesson.

Each nation carries its own educational philosophy – reflecting its culture, values, and expectations for the future generation. It is these differences that create a vibrant and continuously evolving landscape of global education.

Understanding the diverse philosophies and teaching models worldwide is not only crucial for broadening our horizons but is also the key to upgrading the quality of education in Vietnam amid global integration.

I. Global Perspective: Why Does Education Differ So Much?

Leading education systems globally differ not only in curriculum but also profoundly in their philosophy of human development. Below are unique highlights from several countries:

1. Finland: Serenity in Learning

In Finland, one of the world's highest-rated education systems, students have virtually no homework. The core philosophy emphasizes balance, happiness, and holistic development. School hours are shorter, focusing on Phenomenon-Based Learning and student autonomy.

• Key Takeaway: Reduced pressure from exams, trust in students' self-learning abilities, and teacher creativity.

2. Germany: Skill Development Through Real-World Experience

The German education system focuses on integrating theory and practice. Children are encouraged to learn through practical experience, via projects, field trips, and the early introduction of the vocational education system (Dual System).

• Key Takeaway: High emphasis on practical application, independent thinking, and problem-solving skills.

3. Japan: Culture of Discipline and Community Responsibility

In Japan, students are thoroughly educated on ethics, responsibility, and discipline starting from the primary level. Students clean their own classrooms and schools—this is not just a lesson in hygiene but a deep lesson in fostering ownership, respecting the environment, and community spirit.

• Key Takeaway: Character education, self-reliance, and teamwork spirit.

4. South Korea: High Discipline and Competitive Drive

In contrast, South Korean students are known for having the longest school hours. This reflects the huge investment by families and society in education, coupled with a highly competitive environment aimed at achieving academic excellence.

• Key Takeaway: Perseverance, learning discipline, and in-depth knowledge acquisition.

II. Global Trends & Breakthrough Models

Alongside traditional philosophies, the world is witnessing the rise of new teaching models:

• Personalized Learning: Technology allows teachers to adjust the pace and content of learning to suit each student's needs and interests, ensuring no one is left behind.
• STEM/STEAM and Digital Skills: Training focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics to prepare students with essential skills for the future job market. Technology becomes the indispensable "companion" in every lesson.
• Developing Critical Thinking and Soft Skills: Classrooms are designed with open discussions, focusing on how to think, evaluate information, and collaborate, rather than just one-way knowledge transfer.
