Hardest education system.

WHAT?! Ok, let me give an example, IIT(indian institue of technology) has around 3000 places, for those 3000 places around 400,000 people apply that's a ratio of 133:1, beat that.

There's a huge amount of competition between everyone and a friend told me some ppl in her school committed suicide because it was too much for them - ouch

I did both the French and the International Baccalaureate, and I would say that the latter is much harder.

In the IB you have to take pretty much as many subjects as you do in the French system but the workload is much, much higher. I don't understand why the BAC is praised so much.

Actually no, even if it's a pretty common idea. French students have more subjects but still do the same content as british students.. So yeah we work more lol

yes, but having fewer subjects allows you to go more in-depth. anyway, i would say chinese since chinese kids from year 10 can probably kick my ass at maths.

I too have heard that the French educational system is very, very hard.

How come you took both? And well, it also depends on the section I suppose…

The IB is only 2 years and I studied at a French lycee for almost all the time up till then...although maybe the last few years are much tougher.
I just felt that the difficulty of the French system came from the quantity of the subjects you have to take, not the intensity, but I might be wrong.

And as far as France goes I'd say that the classes préparatoires are far more ridiculous than the bac (virtually everyone in France who takes the bac passes it).

I did both the French and the International Baccalaureate, and I would say that the latter is much harder.

I don't know much about the others, but the French system pretty much killed me. Or at least having to sit 13 subjects and having a 36h/week timetable excluding personal work.

And 42h/w for those taking the OIB

Japan, don't they have the highest Student sucide rate in the world?

Like i heard stories about students in exams commiting sucide, they look through the paper, and if they think they're going to fail. They can't take the shame, family dishounor or knowing they're going to end up with a rubbish job.
They put the pen up their noise in such a way, then slam their head on the table, thus pushing the pen into the brain and killing them. This true? Cause this scares me so much.

D'accord, d'accord, I concede

I read studies according to which we were the most stressed students in Europe, haha. But yeah, I quite like the fact that we have a wide range and all, but it seriously need to be revised, imo. Especially the coefficient system, ******** thing ever.
