People say that highschool life is the best life. For some people it might be but when your career depends on an exam you can’t have fun freely and are always in the constant state of stress.
When in high school my mother told me “if you are bored you are not studying enough” I’m in medical school and scared for life; I barely made it and today I question my worth every single day.
My mom called me a failure last year for failing an entrance exam. I prepared this year at home by self study and online resources, got selected just to take the course and college of my dad's choice. Idk how I am going to survive in future. Well, good luck to you.
This entire system is thoroughly insane. Mass-prodding young students to compete against each other, to work throughout the day, year after year, primary school into secondary school and into college. And then what? Chances for bling and high status: big house, nice job, all the rest? But more and more there is no reward behind the final curtain. What an absolute fraud.
It’s a good episode to show the real situation that Asian students are facing for decades. I especially love the part this show probes into the historical background and societal reasons behind Asian educational issues.
I'm a little envious of the Asian students. At least for them, going to a good university actually gives them a chance for a good job. In my country, you can get a good education, spend a lot of money on private teachers, graduate from a top university, and still lose out in recruitment to someone who simply has connections.
Despite all that cramming, total factor productivity in the HK, Taiwan, S Korea, S'pore, China, and Japan is low. You can check the facts. A country needs innovation to compete, not old-style behaviorist cramming and teaching. With a huge army of tutors who do not add much to national output, you can see why productivity is so low.
Interesting video! It shows why most of Asian countries have the cram school culture, how it influence our life and what we try to do recently to have more various education for our next generation. 👍
In India too, its called "classes" instead of cram school in which students have to attend basically the same cram school thing daily besides sunday after school hours, but here some of us very lucky to have great teachers who make the whole session fun and interactive everyday, and if teachers have completed the goal of the day, they might use the rest of the time with kids having a fun time!
in India its same too. India is also a part pf Asia and we all also have to grind our ass off for good government colleges. we have exams like jee and Neet . students have the pressure to perform better in their high school and secondary high school to get a better college or university. then we have to maintain good attendance and cgpa too to get a well-paying and deserving job
It’s absolutely wonderful to finally watch this programme! Thank you Taiwan Bar for making this amazing video that allows me to know my lovely homeland from a different perspective. The English dubbing also makes it easier to approach the audience outside of Taiwan. I really look forward to the upcoming episodes! (btw..... 黑啤真的有夠可愛的啦😍🖤🍺💕🌭🍖🥓🧋（拍謝啦沒有香腸只好用這些替代，黑啤會接受嗎😅🥺………））
Really liked the Taiwan elements in this film and enjoyed Janet’s narration so much. The animations designed were so adorable and went well with the concept conveyed. Sincerely proud that this production is made by an outstanding Taiwanese-led team!
As a Russian, I can say that an average Russian school gives a very poor education. And there is a huge gap in knowledge that school gives and knowledge that universities require to enter them. So if you still want to enter any university, you need to go to a cram school or to hire a lot of tutors to get an appropriate level of knowledge.
Definitely doesn’t seem like a good system, sure they all end up being “smarter” and better at test taking but at what cost? Annual average salary of these countries isnt rven in the top 10, quality of life is trash especially as a student, the stress is awful for students mental health, it crushes creativity. I could go on and on, whats the point?
One of the bloodiest rebellions in Chinese history happened because a guy failed in imperial exams four times straight. So this is a modern reflection of their ancient culture I guess 😅
好喜歡這一部影片，不單單是講亞洲文化，也探討背後環環相扣的社會結構議題。 教育應該是翻轉世代改善貧富差距的方法 卻在無形間加劇了貧富差距 好文憑確實能帶來好工作，但這個文憑是多少資源、多少壓迫堆疊而來的？ 過去汲汲營營追求的分數、文憑，真的能代表一個人的好壞嗎？ 在追求普世認為好表現的同時，扼殺掉了哪些呢？ 又有多少人因為社會資源、環境的不均而被埋沒了？ 節目從亞洲的補習文化，追溯過往的科舉、考試歷史，引領觀眾看到補習文化背後的升學、文憑主義，以及家長的求好心切。放眼全球的補習現況、國際對教育的重視，反思教育的重要性，和潛藏著的制度與資源問題，是一部很有深度的節目。 教育確實需要不斷的改變，以面對這個瞬息萬變的社會，升學與文憑主義仍然存在，家長的擔憂也無所不在，改變並非一蹴可幾，但至少我們開始且正在轉變 很喜歡影片裡的一句話maybe someday, even no goal can be a good goal to work toward 期許未來能有那麼一天，學習不再是為了他人的期待、他人所設立的目標，而是為了自己 教育不再是教孩子追求好表現，而是能讓孩子保有創意與想像力，發揮各自的潛力，同時教導他們接納多元、尊重差異，擁有問題解決的能力 已經開始期待開箱亞洲之後的影片了
Every parents want their children to be doctor, lawyer, accountant..etc. So there will be no hair stylist, chef , baker, cashier. The whole economy will stop
Love the way video was presented! Feel the same when students said they actually enjoyed days in cram school. Teachers in school were not always as good as in cram schools, especially in their style of teaching and leadership skills...
When your whole future is ridding on just one exam you will do whatever it takes to ace it! Because society demands it! And you don't have much of choice!
If you just study the subjects that will be tested only, you have no ways of figuring out what you really like and want to do in life. I encourage you relax and find out what you really want to do.
Jeez you guys have Janet Hsieh doing the voiceover!? That’s crazy! I recognized her voice but couldn’t believe it until seeing the credits in the end. Also love to see Chihchun seonsaengnim being interviewed! Looking forward to more collaborations between him and TW+!
