Education, something I´m never going  be tired of talking about. I myself got marvelled after studying in a Canadian high school for at least a year.  The province of Ontario for instance, home of Toronto which is the financial centre of Canada, does quite well in terms of education. So that, getting a toehold for an international student by studying there is kind of necessary these days. 

 

On the other hand, the educational system in third world countries can´t be beefed up overnight. Sometimes, the few good local schools even gild the lily by adding unnecessary courses in the curriculum. Most private schools here profit with higher education especially.

 

Thus, parents are usually pushed from pillar to post trying to get the best education possible for their children. Besides, I´d say the main problem in Peru for example, regarding regular education is the following: After finishing high school, children are not prepared whatsoever to pursue a college degree. As a consequence, informality allows private institutions to prepare students so they can get into college. In a period of six months, high school grads are expected to be ready to apply to university.

 

It seems ridiculous, though that´s the reality in my country. The lack of a grade twelve here is actually very noticeable. A lot of work has to be done to solve this problem. Local politicians tinker with educational laws regarding quality of education and infrastructure. The less their inhabitants know, the more they can profit.
