This Boxing Day and New Year festival is the cultural heart of Bahamian childhood, with months of preparation.

Bahamas

The Bahamas follows a British-derived 6-3-3 system with compulsory education from ages 5 to 16. Government and private schools coexist. The BJC and BGCSE national exams mirror British O-Levels and A-Levels in structure.

Mountain-adapted expanding model

Nepal

Nepal's education system has expanded dramatically since becoming a federal republic in 2008. The 5-3-2-2 structure now reaches most communities. Over 100 languages are spoken but instruction is primarily in Nepali, with local language programs emerging.
