Education in Venezuela

In my country we have 6 years of basic school, 3 years of middle school and 2 years of high school. Then people have to go to university. We have universities publics and private. Private universities are better than publics. The education is not too expensive. We have a lot of Meyers but they are not too specific like here in America. If you want to study health care administration you have to study just administration. Then you can do a master degree in health care. In Venezuela we start the semester on September and we finish on March to start again on March to finish on July. In high school everyone have to use uniform and the color of the shirt change dependent of the grade. I think we have a really good education in Venezuela. If you want to be graduated in Venezuela you have to study a lot. If you want to approve the grade you have to pass the exams. Our final examinations are about all semester subjects. Sometimes if you don’t pass the exam you can go out of the university. In Venezuela you have a different teacher for each subject and sometimes you have to chance the classroom. Our classes start at 7 a.m. and finish at 6 p.m. Then you have to go to your house to study more. For me the classes here in CESL are too easy because you have a lot of activities that help you to approve the level. I don’t know how difficult is the university in United States but I’m sure that it is not easy. If you are graduated of and American University in Venezuela you can find a realy good job.

This is really interesting. High school is so short!!!
As for University, if it more difficult...sometimes I wish I were a CESL student. I think they make it a little less difficult because you are here and almost everything you do requires English.
