Course Objective

Comparative education is not about one country adopting another country's education system exactly as it is. In solving problems, it is to examine previously written experiences within a broad framework and benefit from them. Comparative education plays an important role in shaping global learning standards by facilitating the exchange of educational practices and ideas between cultures. This process not only enhances the quality of education but also addresses the complexities of applying these practices in different contexts. In this course, the education systems of different countries around the world are examined, and teacher candidates are encouraged to familiarize themselves with and evaluate various education systems.
