I’ve seen multiple videos equivalent of Americans pointing where (country) is on the map, and there was an instance where the host asked the woman where the continent Africa is located (points to Asia) like WTF? That’s not even close at all.
I know there’s bias towards those types of videos since there are accusations of the host “handpicking” select strangers framing them as if they are representative of the US. But the truth is that their education system isn’t good as it lacks funding.
When you put it into perspective: how many Europeans can correctly locate & name countries adjacent to them within their own continent and globally? Is the education system within the EU that good or effective at teaching kids that subject?
Yes and no, I guess.
Theres some grade A morons in Europe as well. But I guess on the whole Europeans have better base education compared to the Americans. Doesn’t help that Americans keep speaking of “Europe” as a whole, while Europe speaks of multiple different European countries as individuals.

To be fair we usually do the same about Africa
But we do know the states, right? I remember my highschool friend not being alowed to go to a party unless she told her dad which states were neighbors of Burundi.
Lol
Yeah well. I can tell you if a country is in Africa or not, but I can maybe pin 20% of them with accuracy.
Quick fire quiz: Which of these are in Africa?
Trick question! All of these are made up!
