The other significant goal of the paper was to provide the professional opinion of the teachers from both countries about the benefits and drawbacks of the presented school systems. The result of the questionnaire and research pointed out to a statement that the combination of both school systems, introducing and adjusting benefits to the peculiar features of a country's educational system, could have a positive effect.
