Comparison between Mexico and Japan Educational Systems

Educational system, which is the learning curriculum of a country must has many similarities and contrasts with another country, like Mexico as a developing country and Japan as a developed country, that is why I choose to compare them both.

The education system in Mexico and Japan are similar in that they have same periods for Elementary School, Junior High School, and Senior High School. Students in Mexico study in a class that supported by technological tools. In the same way, Japanese students also study in a smart class. Both Mexican and Japanese school require their students to wear school uniforms. Another similarity is Mexico, like Japan, has a co-educational system which boys and girls attend school together.

Mexican schools is different from Japanese schools in that they provide free education for students until grade 9, with free textbooks. However, Japan has free schools, but somehow they are less structured. In Mexico, students are required to attend school until 12 year olds, whereas Japanese curriculum is compulsory for children until the age of 15. Only 47 percent of Mexicans have a college degree. Japan, on the other hand, has a higher achievement which is 69 percent. The last difference between Mexico and Japan is their school schedules. The class schedules in Mexico are divided into morning class that starts at 8 am and afternoon class at 2 pm. In contrast, Japan only has one class schedule which is in the morning at 8.30 am.

In conclusion, I prefer Japanese to Mexican school because it is developed better, and also provides more promising education and produce high qualified graduates people.

    Asian and Mexican students approach learning English from perspectives as far apart as the distance between Asia and Mexico. After reading The Importance Of School Context, Immigration Community and Racial Symbolism by Dr. Carmina Brittan, it confirmed many of the things that I felt about this matter, but felt reluctant to express. Dr. Brittan summarized my thoughts and allowed me to gain perspective on why students of Asian descent seem to excel at my school, while students of Latino students struggle. There are three reasons that Asian students get good grades and seem to master English sooner and more effectively: Asians are eager to assimilate into white American culture while Latinos view assimilation negatively, teachers tend to view Asian students as hard working and disciplined while Latino students are viewed as not as hard working, and that both groups view learning…

    In Mexico there is very little work. The work that is there has very little pay. Death in the Desert showed a young man and his brother and cousin going to the U.S. to find work to help pay for their family. Men in Mexico will come to the U.S. illegally during the months of March September. Then they would raise money to take back to help the families. But their journey to the U.S is very dangerous. First they have to cross the desert in extreme heat and have very little water to get through the whole way. Then they have to find work in the U.S and risk being deported back to the U.S. Family is very important in Mexico. The entire family usually lives together under one roof. In Death in the Desert it said that the oldest is the favorite because they are the first and most important. The oldest son is the one that helps support his family, but in the video since the oldest died the father had to take care of the widow and his grandchildren. Mexican families depend more on families than they do with friends. They consult their family members on matters of health, illness and treatment (Diversity, Oppression, and Social Functioning; George A. Appleby) the family is usually patriarchal and looks at the male head of family with great power and responsibility.…

    Some ways Mexico and the U.S. are the same are great vacation areas, similar shopping facilities, same kind of government, and they share a border. First, both U.S. and Mexico possess famous vacationing locations, such as Hawaii, Miami, and New York for the U.S. and Cancun, Acapulco, and Puerto Vallarta for Mexico. Second, shopping places are actually similar. For example, plazas in Mexico are like malls in the U.S. and some stores are the same like Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. Third, the United States and Mexico have the same type of government, which is a democratic government giving everyone an opinion in any governmental issue. Finally, Mexico and the U.S. share a border that is located along the bottom of the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.…

    Japanese and Mexican immigrants began arriving in California at about the same time and initially worked in very similar occupations as agricultural laborers. Yet a study of a school district in which their children attended the same schools and sat side-by-side in the same classrooms found IQ differences as great as those between blacks and whites attending schools on opposite sides of town in the Jim Crow South.…

    One of the major differences is sports. In the Mexican culture, one grows up playing, and watching soccer. One probably cheers for the "Tijuana Xolos," or "Cruz Azul," and or maybe even "La America." There are many teams but one's family is a die-heart fan of one in specific. As a baby one's first word is most likely "goal" or "penal." In the Mexican culture one eat, sleeps, and breathes soccer. On contraire of soccer, in the American culture, football is a must. Every Sunday you’ll be dressed up in your team’s…

    The education system in New Mexico is slowly crumbling. The students of New Mexico are losing interest in gaining wisdom and knowledge, they are also slowly losing their desire to succeed and being ambitious is slim to none. Without the tools to create a fire of intellect, students are sitting in darkness. The system is causing students to feel like failures when truly the system is failing. It is said that Rome was not built in a day, but it was not destroyed within a day either, same goes with a good educational system, they are neither built nor destroyed within a day.…

    There are many similarities within the Mexican and Indian1 experiences of schools and education policy in what is now referred to as America. However, thematically, these similarities represent the larger scope of Anglo attitudes and policies that characterize the educational "missions" applied to most dominated groups in the United States. Most notably is the emphasis of addressing perceived language deficiencies and implementing language education programs. Secondly, is the staunch attempts at deculturalization for both groups.…

    Do Mexican American parents have different rules or expectations for their children than Anglo American parents do? Studies show this is true. Mexican American parents have big traditions, expectations, and rules, not only for their children, but also the whole Latino population. Therefore, Mexican American parents do expect their children to abide by stereotypical “rules” such as patriarchal authority, motherhood, and sport.…

    In Japan, I attended the American School in Japan (ASIJ), a select, highly diverse international school an hour from downtown Tokyo. While I was young, I found it easy to appreciate attending school with expatriate students from different pockets of the world and being immersed in Japanese culture alongside my peers. Put simply, most students were inherently in the “same boat”, establishing common ground from which to form friendships. Differences in race, ethnicity, religion, and background were championed, even at a young age, and never…
