Education in spain vs education in finlandMajorick
The document compares the education systems of Spain and Finland. It finds that Finland's system is recognized as a model, with low school failure rates and equality of education.

The document provides an overview of education systems in the UK and USA. In the UK, education is compulsory between ages 5-16/18 and is divided into primary, secondary, and sixth form college or university. The US system similarly requires compulsory education between ages 5-18, dividing children into elementary, middle, and high school grades before the option of community college or four-year university. Both countries assess students through exams like GCSEs and standardized tests and use systems like the Common European Framework to evaluate language proficiency.
The document discusses the relationship between education and social class in Britain. It notes that where one is educated, such as attending prestigious universities like Oxford or Cambridge, is very important for future career success. The state is heavily involved in education, determining what, when, and how children are taught. There is an ongoing debate around ensuring equal educational opportunities and whether the education system perpetuates or reduces social class inequality.
In the UK, children typically begin their formal education between ages 5-6 by entering primary school, where they study core subjects. They attend primary school for 7 years, then move to secondary school between ages 11-16, and have the option to continue further education until age 18 by taking exams like GCSEs and A-Levels. Schools are either state-run schools funded by public money which most children attend, or private independent schools paid for by parents.
Comparing educational access and equality in the countriesLori Phillips
Lori Phillips conducted research on education systems in Sweden and Japan. Some key findings were:
1) Sweden provides free compulsory education from ages 7 to 16 and spends a high percentage (26.2%) of its GDP on education.
2) Japan has one of the highest literacy rates in the world and "cram schools" supplement the standard curriculum to help students get into preferred high schools and universities.
3) Both Sweden and Japan have strong government funding of non-standardized, teacher-driven education systems without high-stakes testing and with special schools for students with different needs or backgrounds.
There are four separate education systems across the United Kingdom - in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. In Scotland, children typically attend nursery before starting primary school around age 4, then move to secondary school around ages 11-12, taking exams like Standard Grades, Highers, and Advanced Highers. The school day usually runs from 9am to 4pm with breaks. After finishing secondary school, students can pursue further education at college or university, or begin working, though many continue studying to open more opportunities.
The document discusses different aspects of education in the UK, including:
1) Different types of schools such as private, state, boarding, and faith schools. State schools are mostly funded by local councils while private schools charge tuition fees.

3) Requirements to become a qualified teacher, which involves completing an initial teacher training program such as a PGCE and passing competency exams.
The UK education system is overseen by different government departments in each constituent country. In England, the Department for Children, Schools and Families and Department for Business, Innovation and Skills are responsible. Local authorities and school governing bodies administer schools.

Students then have the option to attend universities or polytechnics for vocational and academic tertiary education. The eight universities focus on research and offer degrees while the 21 polytechnics provide applied learning pathways like diplomas and certificates. International students are supported through services like homestays, academic assistance and career counseling. Studying in New Zealand provides a high quality education in a safe country with opportunities for practical work experience.

This document provides an overview of a capstone project to develop a machine learning model using convolutional neural networks to detect melanoma in mole images. The goal is to analyze photos taken with a smartphone to aid in early detection of skin cancer. The project will use a dataset of 2,000 labeled images to retrain the Inception-v3 model and evaluate its ability to correctly classify moles as benign or malignant. Key metrics like recall will be used to assess the model's performance, with the aim of achieving above human-level diagnostic accuracy. Data exploration found some inconsistencies that need addressing, such as stickers only present in benign images, to avoid biasing the model.
