摘要

The information presented in this paper was obtained from reviews of theeducational systems in the four countries and from interviews held with small samples of students, parents, and teachers during the last three months of 1993. Interviews were held in two locations in each country and the students selected for interviews were in their last year of secondary school and were expecting to apply for admission to some of the best known universities in their country. Attempts were made in each country to interview at least seven or eight students and their parents, and some of their teachers.
