Sentence construction problems
First of all English is not my mother tonque, so excuse any spelling mistakes.
I am having an English task in school, where we have to find errors in different sentences. There is in specific one that i'm having problems with.
"How is the educational system in your country like?"
My first thoughts was that "how" should be replaced with "what", and "like" should be moved in before "in your country". I just don't have any excellent explenation of why it should be like that.
That is why I am asking for your help. Please enlighten me, with a good grammatical explanation of why it should be like I stated above (if those changes are even correct).
