We all know Bangladesh does not have a proper education system. There are many reasons behind it , such as greed of the people who are controlling the system , negligence of parents , lack of guidance for students , financial problem of families etc . In Bangladesh in many cases talented students don't get the chance to study in a good school but rich people can easily buy a certificate with money even if they don't have the talent . There are also teachers who sell the question paper for money before exams . Guardians also don't pay much attention to the study of the children especially the girls .

But this is not the case in other countries . Education in Germany is primarily the responsibility of individual German states, with the federal government playing a minor role. Optional kindergarten(nursery school) education is provided for all children between one and six years old, after which school attendance is compulsory The system varies throughout Germany because each state decides its own educational policies. Most children, however, first attend primary or elementary school for 4 years from the age of 6 to 9.

Germany's secondary education is separated into two parts, lower and upper. Lower-secondary education in Germany is meant to teach individuals basic general education and gets them ready to enter upper-secondary education. In the upper secondary level Germany has a vast variety of vocational programs.

German secondary education includes five types of school. The Gymnasium designed to prepare pupils for higher education and finishes with the final examination  after grade 13.

From 2005 to 2018 a school reform known as G8 provided the Abitur in 8 school years. The reform failed due to high demands on learning levels for the children and were turned to G9 in 2019. Only a few Gymnasiums stay with the G8 model. Children attend usually Gymnasium from 10 to 18 years. The realschule has a broader range of emphasis for intermediate pupils and finishes with the final examination after grade 10; the Hauptschule prepares pupils for vocational education and finishes with the final examination after grade 9 and after grade 10. There are two types of grade 10: one is the higher level called type 10b and the lower level is called type 10a; only the higher-level type 10b can lead to the Realschule and this finishes with the final examination  after grade 10b. This new path of achieving the Realschulabschluss at a vocationally oriented secondary school was changed by the statutory school regulations in 1981 – with a one-year qualifying period. During the one-year qualifying period of the change to the new regulations, pupils could continue with class 10 to fulfil the statutory period of education. After 1982, the new path was compulsory, as explained above.

The format of secondary vocational education is put into a way to get individuals to learn high skills for a specific profession. "Most of Germany highly skilled workforce has gone through the dual school vocational and training also known as V.E.T.". Many Germans participate in the V.E.T. programs. These V.E.T. programs are partnered with about 430,000 companies, and about 80 percent of those companies hire individuals from those apprenticeship programs to get a full-time job.This educational system is very encouraging to young individuals because they are able to actively see the fruit of their loom. The education system is encouraging to individuals because they know that most likely a job will be waiting for them when they are done with school. The skills that are gained through these V.E.T. programs are not easily transferable and once a company commits to an employee that came out of these vocational schools, they have a commitment to each other. Germany's V.E.T. programs prove that a college degree is not necessary for a good job and that training individuals for specific jobs could be successful as well

Other than this, there is the Hauptschulabschluss, which combines the Hauptschule, Realschule and Gymnasium. There are also Hauptschulabschluss Hauptschulabschluss. One in 21 pupils attends a Förderschule. Nevertheless, the Förder- or Sonderschulen can also lead, in special circumstances, to a Hauptschulabschluss of both type 10a or type 10b, the latter of which is Realschulabschluss The amount of extracurricular activity is determined individually by each school and varies greatly. With the 2015 school reform the German government tries to push more of those pupils into other schools, which is known as Inklusion.

Many of Germany's hundred or so institutions of higher learning charge little or no tuition by international comparison.Students usually must prove through examinations that they are qualified.

To enter university, students are, as a rule, required to have passed the Abitur examination; since 2009, however, those with a Master craftsman's have also been able to apply.Those wishing to attend a "university of applied science" must, as a rule, have AbiturFachhochschulreife, or a Meisterbrief. If lacking those qualifications, pupils are eligible to enter a university or university of applied sciences if they can present additional proof that they will be able to keep up with their fellow students through a test confirming excellence and above average intellectual ability.

A special system of apprenticeship called Duale Ausbildung  allows pupils on vocational courses to do in-service training in a company as well as at a state school.

Education in Denmark is compulsory for children below the age of 15 or 16, even though it is not compulsory to attend public school . The school years up to the age of fifteen/sixteen are known as Folkeskole, since any education has to match the level offered there. About 82% of young people take further education in addition to this. Government-funded education is usually free of charge and open to all. Denmark has a tradition of private schools about 15.6% of all children at basic school level attend private schools, which are supported by a voucher system.

The Education index, published with the UN's Human Development Index in 2008, based on data from 2013, lists Denmark as 0.873, amongst the highest in the world, beneath Australia, Finland New Zealand

Literacy in Denmark is approximately 99% for both men and women.

But unfortunately in Bangladesh there is no such rule or facility for students which encourage or compel them to study or focus on their other talents. I hope and pray that Bangladesh government will pay attention to this fact and take necessary measures to develop the education system as this is one of the biggest problems of Bangladesh. I also hope that parents and students will be more conscious towards their study.
