Default Education Systems (Serious Debate)

With all the different education systems in the world, with some parts having none, and different exams, ages of taking exams etc., what are your views? Do you think Britain is following the right route and doing it correctly? Or do you, like me, feel people are forced into being more academic and as a result are just stuffing facts in their head that perhaps won't even benefit them in their career...

I understand we need a way to differentiate between pupils, but teaching is one thing, and teaching simply for people to pass exams is quite another. What with coursework etc. as well nowadays, people can just quite easily download these off the Internet (even though the Govt's thinking of scrapping coursework altogether).

I feel that there are just different types of people, those who seem to particularly good at exams since all they do is just sit there and study, whilst perhaps there's those that don't and therefore don't do as well. I don't feel it makes them any less clever at the time, and who's to say they won't become more dedicated in the future but in that particular time in their lives want to have fun? It shouldn't cost them their futures IMO.

So I was wondering about peoples' views on education systems as a whole.
