"IIRC, the Europeans cheat by paying their teachers (along with their other civil servants like train operators and firemen) less than their American counterparts. So the Europeans can get away with smaller class sizes because they spend less on salaries and benefits when compared to the well-funded districts here in the US."First: there no such thing as 'European education'. Every country is different. Second, for my country, the major difference lies in priorities: U.S. high schools seem to spend way more money on infrastructure than Belgian high schools, while Belgian high schools spend more on teachers, allowing smaller groups. "Is Belgian schooling all day from say 7AM to 3PM or is it basically a half day programme where the children go home around noon or so?" Normal Belgian schooldays start at 8.30AM and finish at either 3.30PM or 4.20PM. On Wednesday, school finishes at noon. |
