Uruguay vs Bahrain
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.
Bahrain
Bahrain was the first Gulf state to open a public school in 1919.
A century-old education tradition sets Bahrain apart from its Gulf neighbors in educational culture and outcomes.
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.
Bahrain
Bahrain's 6-3-3 system provides free public education. As the first Gulf state with formal schooling (1919), it has a more mature education culture than neighbors. Arabic is the medium of instruction with English from grade 1. Private schools serve a large expatriate population.
