Education Systems: Myanmar vs Singapore

Recently, I have come across parents whose kids are studying in Singapore Primary and Secondary schools. Some of the parents are working here, so their children, no other choice, have to study here. But some are different. Parents, either working in Myanmar or other countries, have sent their children to study in Singapore.

Well...parents want to give the best education to their children and some will sacrifice a lot of things to do it. The greatest and purest love we can see in life..!!

Wow..!!!! I was very surprised that students in Singapore need to take Tuition classes even when they are in Primary schools. Tuition fee for one subject for a Primary student may go up to S$ 200 a month.

I am just wondering what happen here..!!! Tuition classes, in my traditional way of thinking, are needed because ..... the schools are not enough. That was the same in Myanmar about 10 years ago.

But, in other hand, maybe the time has been changed. Level of competition might have been much stronger!! I don't know..!!!

For me, myself, I hate Tuition classes .... Is there any country whose schools are good enough to keep the Tuition classes away??? Please let me know if you know any...thanks :)

Nowsaday, having formal education doesn't guarentee someone much, ("much" means "much": not " a little"), because so many thousands of graduates are coming out every year. Education make people more arrogant with very low analytical and sensational mindset.

I see eye to eye with Mr. Rober Kiosaki that we cannot blindly rely on the schools today. I am just sharing my thoughts, and I'm not an expert in this area. You may visit RichDad/PoorDad website to learn about Mr. Kiosaki's ideas.

And remember what Bo Gyoke Aung San said: "Wisdom is not just in the book. It has the ability to see beyond the books".

Hope people can learn more than they are taught. Good luck to everybody.
