Comparative Study of Developed Countries' Educational Policy

Abstract

Educational policy encompasses the principles and government policies in the
educational sphere as well as the collection of laws and rules that govern the operation of
education systems. The formulation and implementation of educational policies are crucial in
shaping the quality and accessibility of education, thereby influencing the social and
economic development of a country.
This paper aims to provide a comparative study of educational policies in developed
countries. By analyzing and comparing the policies of countries such as the United States,
Finland, Japan, and Germany, this study seeks to identify commonalities and differences that
can inform best practices and potential improvements in educational policy-making.
The methodology of this study includes a comprehensive review of existing literature,
policy documents, and statistical data from international education organizations. The
structure of the paper is designed to systematically address various facets of educational
policy, including historical contexts, funding mechanisms, curriculum standards, teacher
education, equity and inclusion, technology integration, performance metrics, and future
directions.
