Uruguay vs Bosnia and Herzegovina
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.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnian children may attend three different school systems based on their ethnic group.
Post-war Bosnia operates segregated Bosniak, Croat, and Serb school curricula, meaning children learn different versions of history in the same country.
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.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia operates three parallel education systems: Bosniak, Croat, and Serb. Each has its own curriculum, textbooks, and language designation. Nine years of compulsory education begin at age 6. The systems teach different interpretations of history.
