This comparison and contrast essay shows the differences between the educational system in Saudi Arabia and America. IT is written from the perspective of a Saudi student. Education is one of the fundamental social institutions in every society, but each culture develops its own specific educational system based on its needs and values. Educational systems prepare people for careers in their society, indoctrinate citizens into cultural values, and act as a screening tool for the society to discover it's best and brightest. However, each society has its own focus and its own means of educating its people, and there are no two educational systems that could be more different than the educational system in the United States and the educational system in Saudi Arabia.
