I saw two great school systems in the world, in Finland and South Korea. The common thing they did was to look around and adopt the models to their own culture and situation, not to copy something foreign mechanistically. Also, they paid teachers more and gave them real power and authority over students. Imagine going to war with an army where officers are not paid well, soldiers have bad weapons, and corporals are not allowed to yell at grunts!!! That would mean certain defeat.
I just read some news the other day that Korea had 32k teachers left their job over the past 5 years before retirement and many attributed it to extreme stress. Meanwhile, looking at the latest PISA ranking for 15 year olds worldwide, Korea’s average score for all these individual subjects like math, science and language is even lower than Japan and Singapore. How is Singapore’s education inferior when it doesn’t stress out the teachers, is sustainable and their students achieve the highest grade in the world in all their core subjects?
Vietnam’s education system is better than Malaysia… it’s totally commendable that a developing country beats a middle income country and punch above their weight! ❤
