My Survey - "Satisfaction" Update

Every research paper requires research. Some people gather data through other studies already conducted. Others gather data through experiments. Currently, I am gathering information for my paper by conducting a survey.


Here is the link to my survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/S5K8TM2

I have gotten 39 responses so far, ranging from the Netherlands to Japan. The bulk of my responses have stemmed from Europe. To avoid corrupt data, I plan to get more representation from other countries. My study is aimed at students - from middle school students to college.

One question on my survey asks "How satisfied are you with your country's education system?' I decided to graph the answers I have so far.

USA - 3.6/5



Americans seem to generally have a moderate to high view of their education system. A majority of Americans voted a "4" on the 5-point-scale. The median score was about 3.6 out of 5.

NETHERLANDS - 4.2/5


Residents of the Netherlands seem to have a fairly high view of their educational system as well, seeing that the Netherlands has a median score of 4.2/5.

UK - 3.34/5


A vast majority of my participants have come from the UK. Citizens of the United Kingdom seem to view their school system as mediocre, as the median score of 3.34/5 shows.

OTHERS: 

*Note* The following countries had only 1-3 participants, so their median score will change enormously when I gather more data. The current data is highly unreliable.

Japan3/5
India4/5
Finland3/5
Australia3/5
Germany2.5/5
Tunisia2/5

Adjustment on Focus of Paper

As the title states, I've decided to alter the focus of my research paper. Originally, my paper was to highlight the differences of schools based on culture. But now, I've decided to shift the purpose. Now, I plan to have a paper (name to be decided) on the question " Do more difficult schooling systems result in more successful people ?" For example, South Korea has a notoriously difficult education system. Does that mean South Korea produce more successful people per capita in comparison to other countries? America, on the flip side, is known for its mediocre school system. But, does that mean America is less likely to be home to intelligent people? I disagree. My hypothesis: Countries with more difficult educational systems are not more likely to have more successful people per capita. I believe success depends heavily on personal willpower and how you grew up. I intend to begin researching my paper tomorrow. My timeline looks a bit like this: December 17th...
