It seems that the current local school system is aiming at producing students who play well under this formula
"short-term memory" + "dealing with exams" => "entry to local top university"
(so bright students opt for business,medical,law & few are interested in arts/science/research; students good at written English for university study, no one cares how well they can speak, how willing they are to discuss in English).
If the objectives for primary/secondary school are followings:
- to compete with students worldwide to enter top university in US/UK/Canada..
- to be curious about knowledge, to study proactively, to enjoy reading
- to think independently, to challenge others' opinion
- to get rid of overloading homework in kid's life for other developments
then it seems that the international schools are doing their job decently. They are either private under free-market or ESF under government subsidy. Both systems are producing students on average better than the locals (except for Chinese language).
One can say that the family background of international students are better. I think they may be richer but not necessarily more supportive than the local schools'.
Why can't the EDB see anything from them?
