The chart shows the proportion of curriculum content in a range of countries that focuses on developing cooperation skills, with the data further broken down by subject areas.
Overall, it is clear that there are significant differences among countries. Asian countries show more enthusiasm in studies than European countries. The highest percentage is held by Korea, at 71%, followed by China (57%). Beyond those 2 countries, there are Northern Ireland (55%), and Kazakhstan (53.5%). Estonia and Lithuania also report relatively high, above 40%. Meanwhile, Sweden has the lowest proportion, at only 9%, while Portugal (15%), Australia (16%), and Russia (19%) also rank near the bottom.
Regarding subject distribution, in most countries, national language and science form the largest portions of studied subjects. For example, in Korea and Northern Ireland, these two subjects dominate, accounting for a significant portion of the overall percentage. Humanities and Arts also play an important role, particularly in European countries such as Lithuania and Greece. On the other hand, subjects such as Physical Education, Home Economics, and Mathematics contribute relatively little, with very small percentages in most countries.
Interestingly, the chart also highlights internal differences within countries. British Columbia in Canada has 36% of its curriculum focused on cooperation, whereas Saskatchewan reports only 27%, showing there are different priorities within each country.
