Comparison of UK and US school systems

The UK and US educational models are compared, focusing on a podcast episode discussing the differences in assessment methods, student demographics, and teacher training. While the UK system emphasizes knowledge-based exams like GCSEs and a focus on training teachers in research-based methods, the US system lacks standardized assessments for college readiness and widespread adoption of pedagogical research in training. The UK's progress in educational discourse and teaching methodology is noted, despite challenges in implementation and alignment at all educational levels.
