School World Records by country 59780. That's a long time ago. Oldest school still in youth. The King's School has been teaching for over 1,400 years. Wait, when did like one even happen? You know, like we're in 2026 now. When did one even happen? Cuz it says 1400 years, but then it says 600. 600 + 1400 is 2,000 and we're 226. So maybe this 600 is cuz it's the AD. I'm I'm done. I'm done. That's too much history for me. 2000 BC. Wait, now we got a BC. We got AD and BC. Anyway, the 2,000 BC, 2,000 before Christ, right? So, 2,000 before 1. And then the last one was 597 AD after death. So, 2,000 before 1, 600 after one. Mesopatamia,

first school. The Aduba school taught scribes, math, and literature. Indonesia 5:30. 5:30 a.m. What time do you end though? If you end at like 1:00 p.m. Okay, we're chilling. Australia is the latest start at 10:00 a.m. It was designed to better reflect teen sleep patterns, guys. 10:00 a.m. That would have been so good. You could sleep until like 9:00. Still have lots of time. 96 years old in Japan. Wait, the oldest student? I thought I was going to say oldest teacher. Oldest student. Is he that dumb? He can't graduate or what? Oh, never mind. It's out of university. Okay, he's just learning. He just wants to learn. 10 years old in the United States. The youngest college graduate.

How does that even happen? He's still got eight years of school left. What's What's going on in Switzerland? The most expensive what? 206,000 per year of what though? Oh, the most expensive school. What the heck? 78 hours in India. The longest lesson. The lesson was about Gandhi's philosophy. 78 hours straight. That's like 4 days, isn't it? Three or four. What the heck? How are you not sleeping in that class? Like I can't even stay awake in a regular day school. These guys were awake for 3 years or three 3 days. 61,000 pupils in India. 61,000. So guys, I am from a small town. And I'm pretty sure the high school, there's only one high school there, and I'm

pretty sure we had like five or 600 students. 61,000. In Malta, the most vacation time is 13 weeks. Vacation time helps to boost mental well-being and health. Okay, wait. 13 weeks. What's a regular school? Like you got what? Two weeks for Was it 2 weeks for Christmas or one? Then one week for spring break. But you only have like a couple. 13? Wait, 13? That's over 3 months. Then you're done school. You got another two months, don't you? What the heck? Best attendance, Canada. 99.916% attendance. Even skipping a little has been negative grade consequences. What are they talking about? I know a bunch of people who skipped when I was in high school. 27.6% attendance in South Sudan.

Only 27%. Worst attendance. The vast majority of kids never go to school. Huh. In Colombia, the least accessible 800 meter zip. What? The school needs to be accessed by a 800 meter zip. What? That's sick. Imagine going to school every morning. You can't get there unless you do a zipline. That's sick. Poland, the largest classroom. 4,000. 59. 4,000. Usually smaller classrooms lead to better grades. 4,000 in one class. I think the most I had in my class was like 25. Sorry, I spit you guys. 25.

Is that like an average? I don't even know cuz I've only been in like my small town, right? But now I'm like in a big city. I wonder what the class sizes are here. I swear our average class size was probably like 18 to 20 people. I swear in high school I think six languages Luxembourg the most languages taught six guys I was in French school up until grade eight I think high school I switched just back to well not back cuz I was never in English that was the best decision ever like doing math in French guys when it's not my first language like it's it's hard but six SEVEN SORRY GUYS I'M SORRY drop a like for that one though I'm sorry I had to hit it with it Russia the tallest building

239 m tall Moscow State University was Europe's tallest building till 1990. That would be sick. Going to school like a looking up to the big tower. 27,000 acres. United States. The largest campus. Barry College was funded a lot by industrial Henry Ford. Isn't that the guy who created Ford? That's a lot of acres. Two acres. The smallest campus. United States. Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design is just one building. Well, guys, fun fact. My new house not in there yet. We're still working on it. We're doing some renovations. Going to post that video. Well, probably not for another two months because that's how long it's going to take, but it's going to be worth it. It's going to be a sick video

and then we're going to move into the house. This will no longer be the background of my YouTube videos. I'm also working on that video, new room transformation video. So, stay tuned. And that house is on 2 acres of land. So, I'll also be filming videos outside because now if I go outside to film a video, like a skit, like a little Tik Tok thing. I'm scared because people are staring at me there. No one can see. India, the most classroom, 1,50 classrooms. That's crazy. Compare. Well, I'm just comparing this to like what I know. Maybe like, you know, here where I live now, like a couple hundred is normal. I don't actually know. But a thousand, that's crazy. That's more

rooms than students in my high school by two times. 50 floors. 50 like four or five to me is a crazy amount already. But 50 Japan 5,22 m above sea level. China, the highest altitude. The air was so thin it made concentrating difficult. Well, why would you choose to have it on the top of a mountain if like in Israel the lowest elevation 438 m below sea level? Norway the northernmost northernmost what? Oh, the most northern building or school I guess 78.21 um degrees north latitude. Yep. And we got the southeast. Yep. We got the 63 south latitude in Antarctica.

Fun fact, guys. I was on the most southern point, I think, of the world without being in Antarctica. It was in South Africa. It's called Boulders Beach. And because it was so close to Antarctica, well, I mean, it wasn't that close, but it was like the closest facing, I think. That's why they had a whole bunch of penguins there. And it was so sick, guys. It was so sick. You could basically go swimming with the penguins if you wanted to. Just look at the little guys. Now, we got the easiest is Kiribati. We got the westiest, American Samoa. And we got the longest exam in South Korea. 9 hours and 5 minutes. 9 hours for one exam. That's crazy. That's longer than the whole school day. Oh, actually, not in China,

though. You still got half an hour after you take that test. The longest school day, the shortest school day is in Brazil. 4. That would have been nice. 4 hours. That is so nice. The most homework in China, 13.8 hours per week. Wait, 13.8 hours. That's almost 2 hours of homework a night. That's crazy. 2 hours a night. Might as well just stay at school. In Mongolia, the most days missed due to snow. Ooh, 32. Ooh, I would love that. You guys might have heard it in previous videos before, but I was the master at snow days cuz I took the bus. And it was a thing, you know, technically my parents still had to go to work. They still had to drive, so they could have

drove me, but it was just a thing at our school. If it's a snow day, most kids just stay home because they don't mark you as absent. And the teachers don't really teach like crazy stuff because they know it's a snow day. So, it's like it's just like a basically a holiday. Waking up, checking the phone, and be like, "Yes, it's a snow day." Going on and playing Fortnite. Those were the good old days, guys. In Cambodia, the most days missed due to heat, 14 days. Oh, really? Instead of it being too cold and being a snow day, it' be too hot. I would have been the master at the at checking the heat then if I was in Cambodia. In India, the most days missed due to air pollution 10 days. Really?

Largest li 20 million items, like 20 million books in the United States. What the heck? Morocco, the oldest school library, 1349. Wait, but I thought at the start of the video we were talking about the oldest school and it was older than this. So, does that mean that school just didn't have a library? Maybe, maybe that's what it is. United States, the largest student newspaper, 14,000 readers. School newspaper. Did my school even have that? If it did, there's probably like 10 viewers. 14,000 readers in Nigeria. Most twins in one year. Wait, what? 50 sets per thousand? What? There's that many twins in my school? There's like one or two sets of twins. The biggest yearbook in the

United States. 888 pages. I don't even know what my yearbook was. So, I don't even know if that's I mean, 888 is quite a bit. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Actually, yeah, that is a lot. Another United States, largest science fair, 1,600 finalists. Have you guys ever been in a science fair? Comment below. I don't think I have. In South Korea, the smartest, 99.3% graduate rate. That's almost 100, guys. In Central African Republic, 12.24%, though. The fewest graduates. The biggest school gym, of course, in the United States is 8,000 seats. I don't even know what 8,000 seats look like. In India, the largest school meal program, 120 million children fed. Good job. Back to the United States. Of course, you

know, 4,700 seats for the largest swimming pool in a school. That's crazy. Maybe it's not crazy. Maybe I just think it's crazy. In Venezuela, the largest orchestra, 8,573. United States, the largest field trip, 4,000 students. Largest field trip I've done is like maybe like 50 two classes, 24 subjects in Pakistan. Most subjects offered. What are you even teaching? Like what are you even learning about at that point? Like, you know, math, English, gym. Okay. But like, how do you even get to like United States again? And the most celebrities, 1,063 celebrity alumni. Oo, guys, would I qualify for that one in my school? In

the Netherlands, the fastest typing, 68.6 words per minute. Guys, what do you think I could do? What's my per minute? Should we test it? We're going to test it at the end of this video. See how fast I am. And finally, the most millionaire graduates, 18,000 at Harvard. Oh, interesting. 18,000. We're going to do the one minute test. Let's just do easy test. That's probably what they did. Okay, here we go. Oh my god. Oh my god, it's starting. Oh, although Oh, poo. Did I even spell it? We see. Wait, did I even spell that right? I don't know why it's red. I Oh my goodness. Oh, the actual movie. Whoa. This ah has not always Sorry, I'm slow cuz I can't even

Gordon Ramsey has a project in a London prison. Oh, guys, we're learning more as we go. He opened a business and he does. Did we beat 68, guys? Did we beat 68? 44. Wait, no, I am above the average. The average is 36. Oh my god,
