I prefer education from the author's home country compared to education in America.

After considering both systems, I am more interested and believe that the education system in the
author's home country has some advantages that are better compared to the American system:

More Flexible and Outcome-Oriented

The system in the author's home country is more flexible, only requiring a certificate of attendance for
3-5 years and a final exam to determine graduation. This gives students more freedom to learn at their
own pace and in their own style, without being too tied to the daily class structure, assignments, and
tests as in America.

Encourages Independent Learning

With fewer daily obligations such as homework and quizzes, the system in the author's home country
encourages students to be more independent in their learning and managing their own time. This can
help develop self-discipline and responsibility, which are important for future success.

Focuses on Competence, Not Grades

This system seems to emphasize the achievement of competence through the important final exam,
rather than just chasing good grades on small tests. This can motivate students to truly master the
material, not just memorize to pass.

Although the American system has a stricter structure, I believe the system in the author's home
country is better in developing independence, responsibility, and in-depth mastery of the material in
students. Therefore, I recommend considering the education system in the author's home country as a
better choice.

Reasons why I do not choose the American education system compared to the system in the author's
home country:

Too Much Structure and Testing

The American education system appears to be too rigid with its daily class structure, assignments, and
numerous tests. This can be burdensome for students, especially those who also have to work alongside
their studies. Too many tests and homework can hinder the development of independent learning.

Declining Teaching Quality

Because many students do not understand the material, instructors have to constantly repeat the
lessons. This can lead to an overall decline in teaching quality. The focus becomes just on passing the
tests, not truly mastering the competencies.

Degrees Lack Meaning

The author feels that the degrees obtained after two years in the American system lack meaning, as
students can graduate just by frequently attending without studying hard. This raises questions about
the quality and value of those degrees.

Lack of Encouragement for Independence

The strict structure in America seems to provide less encouragement for students to learn
independently and manage their own time. This can impede the development of important skills like
self-discipline and responsibility.

Overall, the education system in the author's home country appears to be better in developing deep
competencies, independent learning, and meaningful graduate quality.
