Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to go to school in a different country?
In this episode of The Common Room, Jonah, Aria, Beatrice, and Greta take us on a trip down memory lane, and compare the different education systems in the Netherlands, USA, Italy, and in England. At what age do children start going to school in these countries? How old are they when they have to make the first important decisions about their future? And how much space do the different school systems dedicate to citizenship and religious education? These questions and many others will be answered in this episode and, as a bonus, you will get to hear some fun facts about our speakers' teenage years!
This episode was recorded on the 29th of March 2022 at the UJOT FM radio studio at the Faculty of Management of the Jagiellonian University, Kraków.
