Asian Neighbors Cram School also crazy Singapore 75 children to participate in a variety of training

Crazy Cram schools may no longer be "Chinese", according to a recent survey by MasterCard (MasterCard) that children in India, Thailand, Taiwan and other countries and regions have a 50% per cent participation in cram schools, and Malaysia and Singapore are around 45%. It should be noted that the above figures only for the proportion of training in the course, if the number of Go, piano and other hobby training, the proportion will be higher-in Singapore, for example, 75% of children will attend various training courses. The report shows that two-thirds of households in the Asia-Pacific region are willing to pay for tuition for their children, with more than 80% Singaporean residents willing to save for their children's education--the cost of spending on tutoring by Singaporean parents doubles in 10 years after 1998 years, to 820 million yuan (about 4.1 billion RMB). This time a total of 7,678 from Singapore, Thailand, Burma and other Asia-Pacific residents to participate in the survey, the age of 18-64 years. The popularity of cram schools and national education patterns are not unrelated. Taking Singapore as an example, the Straits Metropolis Daily reported that Singapore National Primary School, 1-6 grade, only half culture class. There are no classes in the one or two grade in the afternoon, and in the third grade, there are elective courses in sports, dance and calligraphy, and the children have plenty of free time. But in the third grade, the school began to be divided into top class (EM-1) and Ordinary Class (EM-2), teaching materials and teaching difficulties are different, matching educational resources are different, class members according to each test results dynamic adjustment. On the other hand, Singapore's children also have a "small rise to the beginning" pressure-want to get into the excellent junior high school, must be in the "small six Hkcee" good results. There is no homework in the class, competition and fierce, cram school, remedial class is born. (Multi-Knowledge network Zhang)
