Educational System Colombia vs. US


The educational system in Colombia is very similar to that in America. However, both American and Colombian systems have some differences too. In addition, education is a reference of how people live in a specific place. In other words, education reflects; beliefs, values, customs, and behaviors shared by a group of the people. you don't need special punctuation here--it is a list

First, the actual educational system in the United States was created since eighty years ago. Moreover, every state in America is responsible to make the rules which go according to the place in^ US. For example,^ educational system in Georgia is very different than educational system in California. It is because, every state in the United States have different laws according to the place. However, America has a unique educational system which people adapt according with their necessities. In contrast, the educational system in Colombia was created twenty years ago. In addition, they every five or seven years make(word order) reformations to the education code. In my opinion, I believe that it is a disadvantage because this aspect could affect directly the educational quality.

On the other hand,(what is this in contrast to?) the time which spend people studying in the United States it is around twelve years while in Colombia it is around eleven years. In addition, people in America have three levels in their educational system (Elementary, Junior or Middle and High School). On the other hand, Colombia just has Elementary and high school.

Lastly, the educational system in America is^ responsibility of an administration (superintendent and local teachers) which takes decisions according to the place and their own necessities....to be continue…

On the other hand, both educational systems have some differences, like the division between private and public schools, kinder garden like first year of education, writing and writing in the first year of the elementary school, vocational school, and ^majority of people have access to public education.

In conclusion,^ educational system in Colombia is very similar to that in America. However, there are some differences between them. (you need to work on having a stonger type of concludion)
