Uruguay vs Albania
Side-by-side comparison of how these places approach childhood.
Uruguay
Every Uruguayan primary school child receives a free laptop through the Plan Ceibal program.
Uruguay was the first country to implement one-laptop-per-child nationally, giving every public school student a device and internet access since 2007.
Albania
Albanian children grow up with the besa code of honor that makes a promise absolutely sacred.
Besa (keeping one's word) is so deeply ingrained that during WWII, Albanian families sheltered Jewish children at great personal risk, honoring their pledge of protection.
Uruguay
Uruguay follows a 6-3-3 system. Spanish is the language of instruction. Education is free, secular, and compulsory from ages 4 to 14. Plan Ceibal provides every student with a laptop and internet connectivity.
Albania
Albania follows a 5-4-3 system with compulsory education from ages 6 to 16. Albanian is the language of instruction. Greek minority schools exist in the south. The curriculum has been modernized with EU support.
