GLOBALLY SPEAKING ENGLISH IS VITAL TO OUR LIFE

The educational aim is to "develop the whole person," which includes creativity and the ability to analyze new situations based on comparable cases -- the classic literature approach to education.
EDUCATION has traditionally been the stepping-stone to success. Civil service positions in the government were limited to those who passed challenging exams. Nowadays, jobs with leading corporations are reserved to those who've graduated from top schools, which can only be entered with top entrance-test scores. Social and economic success often pivots on education. No wonder parents and students give their all when it comes to study.
Study went little beyond the "Three Rs" (Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic. Literature , government documents, and religious texts were the focus of much of the reading. Writing seldom went beyond copying or dictation, and mathematics was limited to day-to-day usefulness. Lessons taught students to be loyal and useful subjects. The principle in education can be seen in the role of tests. One simply needs to memorize everything to be successful. A child's duty is to study.
