What can the 'developed' countries learn from this?
I really enjoyed the reflections about 'good' and 'lots of' over 'best' practice - very, very useful. Teachers across the globe must get so frustrated always hearing about the 'best practice' being everywhere else...
And a really insightful run down (with links) of different programmes in different countries. I wonder who has a view of this issue across ALL countries, including the supposedly developed ones? There's definitely a sense that some 'developing' countries are leap-frogging e.g. S. Korea's online-only curriculum.
