Description
Summary:Education systems usually fall into two main types: the Continental and Atlantic systems of education. Countriesbelonging to the third world often follow after the characteristics of the continental system, however, thespecificities of the country may overwrite some characteristics of the original concept. This article aims tointroduce some specific aspects of the educational systems of Iran, Ethiopia and Myanmar through thecomparison of these systems. According to the data analysis, centralisation is relevant, but decentralisationtends to be strengthened in each country. Concerning their structure, similarities in the division of levels wereidentified, along with differences in duration and focus. Unsurprisingly, the curriculums are different in eachcountry; however, the basic subjects are almost the same. Finally, the grading systems use similar categories,although the underlying points providing the basis for the grades significantly differ. Comparing them cancontribute to their evaluation and further development.
