My thoughts on Denmark, the happiest country in the world (5)
We will also introduce some other major differences from Japan.
The national treasury's share of the burden on education is high
When viewed as a percentage of GDP, Denmark ranks 1st and Japan ranks 31st (see website below).

In addition, the number of students per class is 19.3 in Denmark, while the maximum number in Japan is 35, and the average is 27.9, which is significantly higher than the OECD average of 21.3. I have a friend who is an elementary school teacher, and she says that even losing just one student makes a huge difference in the burden on students.
Although Japan is at a disadvantage, it still has better results in the PISA academic achievement test, which is often talked about in Japanese newspapers.

Japanese newspapers and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology are expressing their joy and despair over these rankings.
However, when we look at the actual result, GDP per capita, it is clear that it does not correlate with PISA rankings.
I have studied education around the world to some extent and have come to realize something when I visit local schools. The more developing a country is, the stronger the tendency is for it to be a society that values cram education and places emphasis on academic achievement, while the more mature a country is, the more importance is placed on cultivating thinking skills and creativity. To begin with, there are no differences in the academic ability or level of universities.
The Internet and artificial intelligence are best at things that can be managed through cramming education. Any good military strategist knows that fighting on the opponent's field of expertise is the worst possible battle. Brain scientist Kenichiro Mogi also writes about this in his book.
I've always felt this way, but in Japan, we are persistently forced to memorize things like the number of seats in the House of Representatives and the minimum age at which people can run.
However, how difficult was the history before we gained the right to vote? I don't think there is a single Japanese person who has had the experience of being taught or discussed in detail about the importance of voting. This makes it seem as if there is no point in education.
In fact, Denmark (and other neighboring countries are likely to be similar) does not have multiple choice tests, and students are allowed to bring in textbooks and materials as well as calculators. Written tests and oral examinations are the focus, and it seems that the ability to survive in a constantly changing society and to find answers on one's own is considered important.
It is often said that a company is made up of its people, but it is safe to say that people are made up of education.
Education takes a very long time, but I think no one can deny that countries and companies (or, on a smaller scale, families) that get it done properly will be able to enjoy long-term security.
I have actually seen kindergartens and elementary schools in Germany, and from kindergarten onwards, children are thoroughly trained to make their own choices and express their opinions. In addition, from elementary school onwards, they also introduce English lessons, which they use as a practical tool in addition to their native language.
However, it is not all strict. On the contrary, the classrooms are much more colorful, creative, and fun than Japanese classrooms. If I had to compare it to something, it would be something like the atmosphere at Google headquarters.
I strongly felt that it is because all children are educated in this kind of environment and with this kind of educational content that we have been able to achieve high added value and a mature society.
