[quote=Anonymous]I don't know how it is in Europe, but high school isn't compulsory in China and Japan. High schools have entrance exams, and you can fail to get into high school if you fail the exam. High schools therefore don't need to expand to meet population growth. They aren't required to. Tough luck if you can't get in. In Japan, this means enrolling in one of the low standards private high schools that were built to service failing students. In China, you enroll in vocational schools that generally lead to dead end jobs with low wages. In America, high schools are required to accommodate population growth, and we have trouble building schools fast enough to deal with it in the hotbed areas. I suspect many parts of Europe don't have the population growth rates of America due to low birth rates/low immigration. Therefore the high schools aren't put in as much stress. But that's just a generalization. You would have to do a country by country analysis.[/quote]
