Education is the system of learning which information, competencies, values, notion, and behavior of the group of people are inherited thru storytelling, teaching, dialogue, schooling or research. Any experience that has a formative impact on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be taken into consideration instructional. However, education all over the world has differences and similarities, especially in Bangladesh and Indonesia. There are three differences that are an academic year, government supply and level of education. Moreover, there are four similarities that are starting education, the language of instruction, number of year before going to university and religion education that is offered.

The first difference is the academic year. Bangladesh education starts on January and ends on December in primary and secondary level. Moreover, in the university every semester the education could be started. On the other hand, Indonesian education starts on August and ends on June in primary and secondary level. In addition, Indonesian university actually starts on September because August is for admission only. Indonesian university is not like Bangladesh's because Indonesian university does not accept student every semester. The Indonesian student must follow the academic year.

The second difference is government supply. Bangladeshi government provides free education in primary and secondary education. It is only in public school. In addition, scholarships are provided for poor or brilliant students. Indonesian government only gives a half of education fee in primary and secondary education. Moreover, the scholarship is only provided for the poor students.
