In most countries in the world, history isn't considered as important as subjects like Math, English (or whatever the official language of that country is) and Sciences.

At high school (10 - 16), here in England, I had around 13 subjects... There isn't enough time to get any of these subjects taught properly. For history, I think I had 1 or 2 hours a week!

Back to difficulty of subjects... I think in the West, it kinda sucks until you get to education after 16. I remember in Algeria, the Math I covered in the first year of Primary school wasn't covered for another 3 years in England. I was top of my classes in Math without understanding a single word of English...
