In a few years time, I will likely have to decide which country and school system to put a young boy in. Managing my own money, I can work in any country and if necessary register a business to get an investor/business visa to become an 'expat' in order to live. I would like my kid to be fluent in all english/french/mandarin/spanish and have a science-oriented mindset. Japan teaches social manner and other socialist dogshits so is a big no. China teaches too much own history and communist thinking so a big no. Singapore looks good but the language is too strange. Thought of Spain (costa del sol) but its education seems to lack a science/math focus and spanish kids look dumb. Currently leaning towards Quebec Canada. Any thoughts?
If you come to Québec, Canada...all schools teach French and English. The law requires both. Yet, some schools in the private education system (private schools) teach a 3rd language (e.g. spanish) and others in a specific area will teach as a 3rd language such as Aboriginal (indigenious - First Nations, Metis, Inuit) that's specific to the local community.
Some politicians are trying to make a new immigration rule to "fast track" the immigration process for new applicants if they're fluent in French in comparison to other immigrants to Québec that do
not speak French.
Science/Math are strong in Québec but there's less job opportunities requiring a strong science/math background in comparison to the United States.
In fact, its common for Canadians with strong academic background in science/math to continue their education (university, PhD) or seek jobs in the United States instead of within Canada.
There's a study by some international group that monitors science/math in all countries...
Back in 2014 an alarm was raised after Canada drop from the top 10 to 13th while the United States remain around the 36th place globally. Since 2014...there's been more emphasis placed in the school system on math because Canada wants to get back into the top 10.
Unfortunately, Québec is 4th on the list of education & academic performance in science/math from among the 10 provinces within Canada...British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario had higher rankings than Québec.
