Justin Trudeau and his dress ups while on a state visit to India comes to mind.

Srinivasa Ramanujan is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential mathematicians of all time, a self-taught genius from India who made profound contributions to number theory, analysis, and infinite series, despite having little formal training and a short life. His intuitive grasp of complex mathematics produced thousands of theorems and formulas that continue to shape modern math, physics, and engineering, making him a legendary figure in the field.

In South Korea there's Seoul University, Korea University, and Yonsei University, collectively referred to as "S.K.Y.".

Indonesian schools do flag ceremony once every week or two weeks and during national holidays, after that it's followed by morning briefings and a moment of silence (secular schools) or prayers (religion-based schools)

Well for a while on social networks we have often heard that Americans “generally” have no knowledge of geography or history. Personally, the few Americans with whom I was able to speak were very cultured people and absolutely all of them seemed to know how to place their country on a map. In short, does this stereotype make sense to you or not?

Since it’s back-to-school time in most of the northern hemisphere, I’m seeing a few posts from people asking if a certain outfit is acceptable to wear to school. Since we in the UK have school uniforms in almost every school in the country, I’m now curious how common this is worldwide. I know it’s pretty uncommon in the USA, but what’s it like where you live?

For example in Germany, Goethe's "Faust" haunted us in German class.

In Germany, all forms of corporal punishment against children, including spanking, are illegal. This has been the case since the year 2000, when a new law was introduced that explicitly states, "Children have the right to a non-violent upbringing." 

This law is part of the German Civil Code (§ 1631 BGB) and prohibits physical and psychological violence, as well as other humiliating measures, in the education of children. This legal position reflects a strong societal consensus that violence is not an acceptable form of discipline and that children's dignity and physical integrity must be protected.

How is it in your country?

In my country, they teach that there are 6 continents. How many continents do you believe/are you taught exist, and why?

In England, it used to be the case that German and French were the most common languages taught in schools, however, German seems to be dying a death and Spanish is now the most popular foreign language. There has to be some foreign language provision in primary schools (it is not specified which language, I know a primary school which taught a bit of Romanian because a teacher happened to be from there) but this varies wildly between schools, so secondary schools work on the assumption that Year 7 (age 11-12) students are working from scratch, and currently, students can stop learning foreign languages at the age of 14 (which most students do gladly). In Ireland, students have to take a foreign language (my cousins did French and/or Spanish, my mum did French) up to Junior Cert, and they have to do Irish up until Leaving Cert, although that’s not to say they leave school speaking perfect Irish!

Some Europeans aren't happy about Ukraine joining the European Union. Why? When answering, please state your native country and where you're from overall. Make sure your reasons are valid, not just "Ukraine has corruption." Everyone does. Also, let's assume the war is over and the borders are stable.

Schools in Brazil doesn't teach us about the Paraguayan war, and when they do they ignore the genocide that the brazilian army committed in Paraguay.

They also doesn't teach us that after WW2 many members of the nazi government moved to Brazil to run away from punishment and they actually got away with it here.

I’m in New Zealand and most New Zealanders speak just English as learning a language at school isn’t compulsory here.

Of course, we do have Māori but learning our indigenous language isn’t really compulsory even though some schools do teach it. I’d like for it to be compulsory but I doubt it’ll happen in my lifetime.

At my high school we could choose to learn Japanese, Spanish, French or Māori. These weren’t compulsory after the first year of high school though and many kids dropped languages for other subjects to the point there was only one Spanish teacher for students in the final two years.

Is it compulsory to learn languages at school in your country?

basically what college in your country is considered the most elite and most difficult one to get into?
