Collaboration between the US and Europe in education

The US has the best universities and research centres in the world. Consequently, the UK and the US governments concur as follows “science and higher education are the foundation stones of their two nations’ 21st century economies and that the UK and the US have a responsibility to further their global leadership roles in these essential fields” (Office of the Vice President 1). The US is also the largest spend in areas of scientific research while the UK leads the G-8 countries in scientific publications.

Conclusion

America provides the best education system in the world. It offers higher education that caters for its diversity unlike in Europe where specialisation of education influences learners’ choices. Though the US education system has experienced challenges in the recent past, it remains the best system. This is evident from most people who prefer to pursue their higher education studies in the US rather than in their homes countries.

However, America must improve its education system because of stiff competition from other countries across Europe and Asia. Studies show that the US has the largest gap between low and best achievers in education.
