Should a nation require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college?

The cultivation of children is somewhat like the production. Consequently, teaching children with the same national curriculum is similar with the modern times massive production, while, schools with different academic courses are comparable with the small handcrafted workshops.

Similarly, fostering the children with the same national curriculum can save the nation's effort in evaluation of the students' study and can also reduce the average cost spending on the fostering of a single student. Obviously, if different schools have different courses, the nation has to establish a complex evaluation system to assess different students' talents and knowledge foundation.

Through the nation-wide examination, the nation can easily draw the conclusion whether a student is eligible and it does not need to response to single district's changes as well. Moreover, the national curriculum can lead to the massive production of the required books, teaching facilities, and even the training of the corresponding teachers, which certainly reduce the education cost on a single student.

For the further consideration, if...
