　　Whenever anyone measures educational success, East Asian countries are always top scorers. But in a recent league table, a European country, Finland, was top of the class. Korea was still in second place, though. Britain was at number 6.

　　In Korea the school day is long梩ypically 7 or 8 hours, bfollowed by hours of private tutoring in the evenings. All_this_hothousing leaves Korean students so tired, and they sometimes fall asleep in class next day. Worries about the effects of late night cramming(填鸭式) led the government to force cramming schools to close by 10 pm. Finnish children spend the least time in class in the developed world, often finishing just after lunch, with about one hour of homework a day. Private tuition is uncommon. The British and American school day is quite long in comparison, around 6 hours, and secondary school pupils do 2 or 3 hours of self－study a night.

　　The Korean education system, like many in Asia, is intensely competitive, with students even competing to get into the best cramming schools to help them get ahead. Finnish education is far less cut－throat. Classes are all mixed ability, and there are no league tables. British schools again occupy the middle ground, with quite high levels of competition for places at university, and schools and universities battle to come top of league tables for everything from exam results to student satisfaction. Korea and Finland both do well, yet their education systems are so different.
