Kuwait vs Bangladesh
Side-by-side comparison of how these places approach childhood.
Kuwait
Kuwaiti families spend an average of 15% of income on private tutoring.
Despite free public education, the tutoring industry reflects intense parental investment in academic achievement.
Bangladesh
Bangladeshi children in flood-prone areas attend school on solar-powered floating boats.
With a third of the country flooding annually, NGOs created boat schools that collect children from riverbank villages.
Kuwait
Kuwait provides free education through university for citizens. The 4-4-4 system is gender-segregated at all levels. Private schools serve both the large expatriate population and wealthy Kuwaitis seeking English-medium or bilingual education.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh has a dual system of government and madrassa education, with NGOs like BRAC running the world's largest non-formal education program. Primary enrollment has reached near-universal levels, with girls now outnumbering boys at secondary level.
