Despite the hardships of famine and poverty, natural disaster, war, and sometimes all three, families the world over strive to educate their children in the hope of a better tomorrow. Education takes many forms depending on the country or culture of the children, and acceptable practices in their religion and community. Schooling Around the World examines education on six continents, with a chronological history of the development of primary, secondary, and post-secondary levels. Organized alphabetically by the countries within each region, it answers questions such as: who goes to school (Boys? Girls? Both?), where they attend school (home, temporary buildings or tents, religious or institutions), if their school system is public, private, or both, and what the curriculum looks like. Special features such as a timeline of educational development and "day in the life" portraits of students attending schools in that country give readers a full picture of the past, present, and future educational philosophies, conditions, and curricula. Volumes Include:
  • North America
  • Latin America
  • Europe
  • Central Asia
  • East Asia
  • South Asia
  • Middle East and North Africa
  • Sub-Sahara Africa
  • Oceania
