Via George Siemens. I’m not sure how the 9 countries thus far included were selected, but this wiki provides an interesting look at the technologies applied in Brazil, Canada, China, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, South Korea, Turkey and the USA.

I can’t help wondering how one describes education in a country such as China in terms of a single system. I would imagine that there are parts of China where the standard of education and the technologies employed rival the most advanced in the first world, while there are also parts of the country where the standard of education and access to technology are on a par with the worst in the third world.
