The mainstream education in the world refers to the educational system and content generally adopted by all countries in the world. It is generally regarded as an efficient, applicable and sustainable educational method. At present, the global mainstream education includes basic education, vocational education, higher education and adult education. Basic education usually includes primary schools and secondary schools, aiming at providing students with necessary knowledge and skills. Vocational education aims at cultivating students with specific skills and professional qualities in order to enter the job market. Higher education is an educational stage to further improve students' knowledge level and professional skills. Adult education covers lifelong education, vocational training and other aspects, helping people to constantly update and improve their abilities.

The mainstream education in the world can provide high-quality educational resources and teachers, and also has a good educational system and norms. It emphasizes the practical application of knowledge and skills and can cultivate talents to meet the needs of society. However, there are also some problems in mainstream education in the world, such as ignoring students' personality and interests, lacking open and innovative educational concepts, and graduates' poor adaptability to practical work.

With the continuous advancement of globalization, the mainstream education in the world will pay more and more attention to the cross-cultural and diversified education system in the future. Specifically, it will be the future development trend to carry out international education cooperation, innovate the content and form of education and popularize STEM education. STEM education is helpful to improve students' scientific literacy and technology application ability, and better adapt to the development needs of the future society. At the same time, future education will put more emphasis on students' subjective consciousness and innovative thinking, and promote students' all-round development and self-realization.
