Description

In this advanced conversation lesson, the students will explore how private and public schools influence equality, job opportunities, and future success. They will compare their own education systems with Nordic countries, where strong public education reduces social gaps. By the end of the lesson, students are expected to express opinions, compare systems, and reflect on whether education should be a privilege or a right.
