【經濟日報專訊】第二屆中學文憑試(DSE)主科筆試今天開考,中、英文科成最重要戰綫,學校早已部署力保學生合格。 有中學津貼部分學生到補習社學習一些「不正路」考試技巧,又出動教授批改作文,並揪出科科掂、卻因語文科失手而大學夢碎的「短板」學生,集中火力惡補。 有校長則以當年4次考高考的刻苦經歷及一封「那些年」信函,勉勵學生坦然應戰(見另文——「曾4戰高考 校長:衰了不用怕」)。 學「不正路」考試技巧 入大學的門檻為DSE考獲「33222」,即中、英文達3級,要求較其他科高。去年首屆考試中,大批名校生也因中文或英文科「肥佬」而無望入大學,令學界今年更緊張。 不少考生「投靠」補習社買安心,但基層學生無力付學費,廠商會中學為令學生「心息」,破格利用教師在校內影印私人文件所繳費用,向約10名考生提供每人約500元津貼,到補習社補4堂英文。 該校副校長周修略稱,揀選了英文未達3級的學生補習:「補習社教不正路的方法,如講明哪些課程不用讀、要求背範文,或以較俗的笑話講課,有些學生覺得有用、是精華。」 邀大學副教授批改作文 校內老師則繼續教文法,校長麥耀光稱:「就當與補習社分工,老師不會小器。」 該校同時邀請4名大學副教授、各擔任3名學生的學長,鼓勵他們備戰考試,其中一名學者更親自為學生改英文作文,麥稱:「學生覺得有教授幫自己,怎也勤力點。」 馬錦明慈善基金馬可賓紀念中學亦力谷中、英文,該校的首屆DSE考生,有半數躋身學士課程,但亦有數十人分別因中、英文未達3級,只可升讀副學位。 校長蘇振威稱,汲取上屆經驗後,教師分別於這屆考生的中五學期尾及中六初期,識別出中或英文介乎2及3級的「短板」學生補習。 短板是指方形水桶的3邊木板都夠長,唯獨一邊太短致漏水,蘇稱:「同學知道會因英文不合格而入不了大學,就動機很強,集中讀好這科,其他料有4、5級的科目,則不用花這麼多時間讀。」 退休老師助補課「操卷」 中華傳道會劉永生中學亦集中助30、40名中或英「危危乎」的學生保底,出動退休老師協助補課和「操卷」,又安排學生在考中文口試前1至3天回校練習。 至於曾讓學界戰戰兢兢的通識,由於去年合格率甚高,學界已不甚憂慮,該校校長鄭德富稱:「現在谷學生奪4至5級。」 他補充,今屆特意提早考完模擬試:「去年考完模擬試,僅得3天對卷,今年有14天,可再教一次同學不熟悉的課題及再操試卷。」 蘇振威亦指,文憑試課程太多,令首屆考生吃力,但經教育局剖析教學重點後,教師減省了教學內容,今屆提早了1個月、於去年11月便教畢課程,讓學生有更多時間備戰。 更多經濟日報網站內容, 請登入hket.com

避不避開,是個人選。是否很多學校不作為,我不認為。有很多學校,上年暑假時已積極準備為來界考生,採用不同形式加班加時補課如DBS, 協恩等等。

但校長公然求助於補習社,已錯誤地傳遞錯誤的信息予學生,為考試而補習、而讀書、而....。走精面,是為人師表者不可取也。同時是政治不正確。

在幼教、小學以至初中階段,我們還可以侃侃而談教育的理想;但走到中學的最後階段,要準備投考DSE的時候,無論學生與教師都無條件再糾纏「甚麼是理想的教育」?說到底,DSE根本唔係教育,DSE只係一個選拔人才的篩選機制,在此關鍵時刻仍執著教育的理想,是否太奢侈呢?

報導裡出自校方的言論都附有冒號和引號,「廠商會中學為令學生『心息』」明顯是記者的描述而已。

DSE雖未至於一試定生死,但對於基層學生來說,英文科的三和二,足以影響他們下半生的命運。中產家長可以各出奇謀,替孩子打造亮麗的CV,去做義工呀、去英美參加夏令營呀、去非洲照顧可憐的飢民呀、再唔係就送孩子去外國留學呀………但對於基層學生,DSE可能是他們唯一的機會。

無可否認,補習社是有它的功能,否則何以客似雲來,而且大部份客仔都來自名校和中產家庭。姑勿論您是否認同它的功能,它們確實制造了好多個A,送了萬千學子進入大學,改變了很多人的命運。

以上都是我每一天都能在EK看到的討論,然而,Band 3學校裡的基層學生卻沒有那麼多的機會,他們的夢想非常卑微,他們只希望拿到一個英文科的「三」,而這個「三」足以扭轉他們的命運。

教育的目的是甚麼?用教師奉獻出來的五百圓去補學校的不足,去改變學生的將來,使他們有更好的前路,我覺得這就是教育,起碼沒有違背教育的目的。至於教育的原則,這是很深奧的課題,對於弱勢學生來說,真是Who cares? 我卻認為教育不需要拘泥形式,只要動機是為學生好,而效果又真係幫到學生,就要去做。

在關鍵時刻,弱勢學校和弱勢學生只能順應機制,救得一個得一個。「廠商會中學」,我為您們鼓掌!努力!加油!

今天的鸡精班, 名校生不少, 补习社是上市公司, 有专业人员(包含大学教授) 研究试题. 是门揾钱生意. 学生上堂主要是拿notes,回家温习研究, 普遍全職中学老师, 就算很有爱心, 相信难以有才财时间来编制针对DSE的考卷策略.

从前的会考高考, 传闻是超级名校的mock 卷贴题特准,可能跟insiders 有connection.  及时拿到份mock 卷看看, 又是很着数!

这情况或许也像ESF 从来没足够才力, 财力, 来编制一套完整的中文基础教育课程, 上课时数不缺, 老师资格不缺, 却依然要依赖外补, 才能拿个平稳进步.

p.s.我反对补习, 因为部分中产孩子已经资源过剩, 大把优秀软硬件用不完, 相反是毫无头绪,又想改进成绩的孩子, 没多少本钱可用, 是一个机会也不能放过呢!

Tutoring Spreads Beyond Asia's Wealthy
By LIZ GOOCH  Published: August 5, 2012

SINGAPORE — On the second floor of a Singapore shopping center, five boys and two girls sat in a small room with the blinds drawn, a whiteboard the only object on the lime-green walls.
 
Edwin Koo for the International Herald Tribune
Natasha Christopher teaching a class at the Raffles EduHub center. The organization was founded by Dr. Zhong Rui Wen, who is seated at rear.

Jordan Goh, 12, who began receiving after-school tutoring two years ago, went up to the board to answer a math problem about time and distance, while Dr. Zhong Rui Wen, the founder of the Raffles EduHub, a tutoring center, gave pointers from the back of the room.

“This place, it has been helping me a lot,” said Jordan, who attends the center three afternoons a week. “It drills me on stuff that I don’t understand.”

Every week, about 150 children attend this center, just a handful of the many students taking private tutoring across Singapore, where attending extra lessons after school has become the norm.

Once the domain of the elite, private tutoring has become widespread across Asia, according to a report released in July by the Asian Development Bank and the Comparative Education Research Center at the University of Hong Kong.

The report quoted studies, polls and other sources as saying that 97 percent of all Singaporean students, nearly 90 percent of South Korean primary students and about 85 percent of Hong Kong senior secondary students receive tutoring.

Perhaps more surprising is the prevalence of tutoring in poorer countries. According to various studies, 60 percent of primary students in the Indian state of West Bengal receive tutoring, while a similar proportion of senior secondary students in Kazakhstan attend extra lessons.

Researchers say that private tutoring, which they call “shadow education,” can help students academically, but they also found that the quality of instruction varied substantially.

The number of Asian parents spending heavily on extra lessons has increased, according to the report, “Shadow Education: Private Supplementary Tutoring and Its Implications for Policy Makers in Asia.”

“It is becoming a pan-Asian phenomenon and indeed a global phenomenon,” Mark Bray, an author of the report and the director of the Comparative Education Research Center at the University of Hong Kong, said by telephone.

Many Asian families devote vast sums to supplement government education. “The most dramatic number is Korea,” said Mr. Bray, who is also a professor of comparative education at the University of Hong Kong, “where households are spending the equivalent of 80 percent of what the government is spending.” The report said that for students in government secondary schools in Bangladesh, an average of 41.9 percent of the total household cost of education was spent on private tutoring.

Tutoring can range from one-on-one sessions taught by neighbors or older students to classes at franchised centers, as well as over the Internet.

The report also described how “star tutors” who can fill lecture halls have become a phenomenon in places like Hong Kong.

It cited two South Korean celebrity tutors: Woo Hyeong-cheol, who reportedly earns $3.9 million per year offering Web-based math classes to 50,000 students; and Rose Lee, “the Queen of English,” said to earn $6.8 million per year, also through online classes.

Mr. Bray said increased job competition was one of several causes for the rise in demand.

“One of the major factors is globalization, that families are no longer competing with their own neighborhood — they’re competing with the region and the world,” he said.

In some poorer countries, like Cambodia, perceived weaknesses in the school system could also prompt parents to turn to tutoring, Mr. Bray said.

Teachers in Hong Kong and Singapore are not permitted to tutor their own students privately for additional pay. But teachers in other countries who do so for extra income may also be bolstering demand.

Pakistan, where 60 percent of the population lives on less than $2 per day, is example of a developing country where demand for tutoring has spread beyond wealthier, urban centers.

In the rural part of Lahore, 44 percent of private school students and 32 percent of government school students had private tutoring last year, according to the Annual Status of Education Report, a survey conducted by Idara-e-Taleem- o-Aagahi, or the Center for Education and Consciousness, on behalf of the South Asian Forum for Education Development. In the urban area of Lahore, that number rises to 60 percent.

“It can be said that the incidence of private tutoring is lower in relatively poorer areas,” Baela Raza Jamil, the director of programs at Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi, said by e-mail. “However, it is definitely no more a phenomena limited to the wealthier families of the country.”

Over all, 24 percent of Pakistani students who attended private schools reported taking supplementary tutoring last year, while the figure was 7 percent among government school students.

“Because of the increased competition for higher learning outcomes,” Ms. Jamil said, parents who can afford it are providing supplementary tutoring for their children.

The Federally Administered Tribal Areas had the highest level of private tutoring in Pakistan, with almost half of private school students and a quarter of government school students receiving tutoring, a rate Ms. Jamil attributed to the fact those schools often close because of conflicts along the Afghan-Pakistan border.

The report found that tutoring could worsen social inequalities, cause stress for families and reduce the time students spent on other activities.

A recent letter in The Straits Times, the biggest newspaper in Singapore, said that many parents wanted a more balanced education for their children and that social mobility might be affected by the heavy reliance on extra tutoring, also known as “tuition.”

“How can we tell ourselves that all students stand an equal chance of moving up the social ladder when success in our education system is highly dependent on the extra tuition and enrichment lessons that wealthier parents can afford and poorer parents cannot?” read the letter, by Wily Wan.

Researchers say they are also worried about the impact tutoring is having on formal education.

“Even in societies where teachers are not allowed to tutor their own students,” Mr. Bray said, “if teachers think there is a safety net, they may be less concerned about working hard, about doing what arguably should be their job of helping children, of making sure the children understand and so on.”

The researchers recommended that governments more closely monitor the tutoring industry and consider possible regulations. The report also suggests that policy makers look at improving mainstream education to make supplementary tutoring less desirable.

But it seems as if many parents in Asia still feel that tutoring is necessary.

Dr. Zhong, a medical doctor and child psychiatrist, said her tutoring center in Singapore was only for students whose grades are average or below average — children who she said often required more attention than they received in school. She says she believes that students can combine tutoring with other activities and that she does not want her students to neglect pursuits like sports.

Jordan Goh’s mother, Judy Hii, sent him to the center to help him with the primary school final exam, which will determine which secondary school he attends.

“Because of the limited time the teacher has with them, they really do need help,” Ms. Hii said. “The school will say, ‘Leave it to the school,’ but somehow it’s just not enough.”

She thinks that the extra lessons have paid off because Jordan passed his last mock exam after 10 days of intensive drilling at the center.

Referring to Dr. Zhong, Ms. Hii said, “She did some miracle work.”

兩篇文章,只是反映一些現時亞洲或至世界補習的普遍現實。你知道的現實,未必是全盤現實。我從文章中知道亞洲落後國家的補習狀況,也是我新知現實。另題「不補習的高分」,有幾位家長陸續講出各樣不同各自現實。你到 EK 小學、中學、甚至幼兒版去,又會有大量的進行中的補習現實。

文章不難理解,補習深化,是亞洲社會富裕、但貧富懸殊、學業不能定終生,但能顯現將來你處於強弱兩邊的端倪。所以無論學生、家長、學校都不會錯過提升機會。世界一體化,本土教育未必完備,韓國學生多補英文,香港國際校生補中文,本土生有錢出國留學理想選校選科,也要看成績,祈望心切,有得補點會放過,當然各自功值不等,成效不同。

我本身反對補習,但以前說過有需要補就補,但要看成效,因人而異,適時而變。

I typed some Chinese and got accidentally deleted!   As I said, who does not know Asia parents are crazy about tuition classes.   I don't need two articles written by westerners to tell me. Just because everyone is doing it does not make it the right thing to do.  If there is a need to do tuition sensibly, it is ok.  As I said in the past, I am not against tuition categorically.  However, looking at EK and typical HK family, many of them are doing it with the wrong reasons, at least the reasons I don't think are valid.  還記得盲搶鹽嗎?

The popularity of tutorial is not that surprising.  I think it is just another reflection of smaller families with less children, higher concentration of parental attention on kids, focus on academics as pathway to get ahead and a general desire for their children to "succeed".  What it got me thinking about is our formal education system.  Between full day schooling and homework, our children have dedicated most of their waking hours to academics already.  But apparently, it is not enough as the super-majority of parents still believe tutoring is required.  Tutoring means even more time are spent on academics.  Does this mean our formal school system is not doing its job of teaching academics?  If not, what purpose does our schooling system serve?

80% 有補習,不等同花 80% 課外時間於補習。留意各國小、中學補習比率不同,南韓小學時和量算嚴重。
效法外國教育,因各條件、要求、社會情況等差異大,並不可行,但可參照。以下是你提及的國家一些教育資料:-

/////

Finland Fast Facts

Only 3.8% of Finland's population of 5.3 million is foreign-born, which makes for a relatively homogenous society in a small country.

Teachers in Finland are well-trained and highly respected, and recruited from the top 10% of graduates.

Because of the flexible national core curriculum that functions as a framework, Finnish teachers are able to design their own curriculum and choose their own textbooks.

Finnish schools are typically small in size, and the administrators share teaching responsibilities.

Finnish schools provide a broad array of services, including a hot meal for every student daily, health and dental care, and psychological guidance.

About 40% of students in Finnish secondary schools receive some kind of special intervention. School faculties include a "special teacher" who is assigned to identify student who need extra help and then provide it.

Upper secondary schools in Finland employ a modular structure that enables students to design their own learning programs based on their individual needs and interests.
Finland's graduation rate for upper secondary students was 93% in 2008.

On the last three Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) tests (given in 2003, 2006, and 2009), Finland has scored either first or second out of all OECD countries for all three measures: scientific literacy, math literacy, and reading literacy.

/////

Germany is the largest country in the European Union, with a population of eighty-two million. It is also Europe's strongest economy, and prides itself on a strong literary tradition and belief in social equality.

Much like the United States, education policy in Germany is not controlled by the central government, but by the states, where educational achievement varies.

The country was shocked when the results of the first PISA exams in 2000 were not only lower than the OECD average for reading, but revealed a higher correlation between family socio-economic status and student achievement than any other OECD country. This "PISA shock" led to national debate on how best to reform Germany's complex education system.

Germany Fast Facts

Germany has long had a three-tiered school system, where by age ten, all students are tracked into one of several secondary school options: the Gymnasium, the Realschule, or the Hauptschule. This strict method of tracking limited opportunities for student improvement and built inequity into the system.

Historically, most schools in Germany started early but excused students by lunchtime, which translated to less class time for German students when compared to other member countries of the Organisation for the Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Longer school days, a move toward a less segregated two-pillared system, and a push for standardized national curricula are among the various reforms adopted by the country since their initial low scores on PISA provoked change.

While many of the reforms are still in progress, in just nine years, Germany's results on the 2009 PISA tests already show improvement.

Thank you, very good info.  Can you let me know where one can find good introductions like these?  
The 80% I was referring to is the amount of time that kids spend on academics out of their total "usable" time.  Quick back-of-the-envelope as follows:

24 hours in a day - 10 hours for sleep - 1.5 hours for meals and shower [sleep, meals and shower are not optional!]
= 12.5 hours of "usable" time

Out of these 12.5 of usable hours, let's assume 8.5 hours of formal schooling+commute, 2 hours of homework+tutorial+commute.  10.5 hrs/12.5 hrs = 84%!

Which leaves 2 hrs of real free time for reading, sports, extra-curricular activities, "hea", .... or otherwise known as having a life!

其實香港的環境很難學其他國家。從90年代開始,香港已經不是一個適合創業的地方,所有的盈利都跑到地產商或投資者那裡。而做銀行,政府,醫生或其他師等高收入的都要看學歷。香港的中產父母眼光銳利,要下一代繼續做中產,就必須努力讀書。

美國的創投成熟,大量有錢人會用回饋方式支持年輕人創業,所以有大量讀書不成的能賺第一桶金。而且工種比較多,讀書不成亦可以安穩生活。

歐洲的福利能保障市民生活所需,就算做清潔工亦不會像香港那樣被受壓逼。在香港,中國做窮人是很可憐的。

現時香港大概有十幾%的學生能進大學,TOP3 維持幾個%,如果現時孩子成績在中游部分,有什麼辦法?補習吧!

HKTHK

With 80%+ people taking tuitions and seeing some of the HK parents busy schedule of tuition for their children, I agree the HK education "ecosystem" is not right. Or at least worth investigating.

My definition of ecosystem is the school + parents/students, ie curriculum, teachers, teachers training, admission and once allocation system, school hardware, development, "parents and students".  

I can think of two scenarios:

1.  The school factor. The school curriculum and teachers etc are not producing young people with the right skills for university admission and the society.  The parent realize this and therefore invest in a large amount of time and money on additional tuition after school to bridge the gap. But how do 80% parents measure the gap and know how big the gap, then to supplement kids with the right tuition?  I believe this is minor factor. The bigger reason is the following.

2.  The parent factor. The school curriculum, teachers etc are actually adequate, producing good people for the society and university admission. However, parents want their children to get ahead of the rest, standing out from everyone else. They resort to large amount of tuition.

I would add factor number 3: society.
3. Society:  as a society, children are being judged by the school they go to and their academic performance.  Everyone live and die by a single benchmark and it is the number of points on their report card.  Strangely, parents also seem to believe that the only path to glory, success and a big pot of gold is if one can get good grades.  Sadly, this has been the case since when I was a student and it doesn't appear much has changed in this department.  Unless children are being judged by other benchmarks, it is difficult to convince parents and children that their maniacal focus on academics is narrow-minded.  Afterall, the people who are successful are not the smartest ones or the ones with best grades.

On 1, I would also blame the universities on their admission policies which is almost purely based on academics.

I would say the society factor is really the parent factor. The society's view matters very little.  Parents act in the best interest of the kids, not to satisfy someone else expectations.  If the parents care too much how others view their kids, then it is also the parents problem, hence the parent factor.

Whatever the categorization may be, I suspect the parent factor is the dominant reason for extensive tuition in HK.

shadeslayer,

这个周末收到好消息, 小女的儿时玩伴, 两位是LS 学生, 一位IS 学生, 他们互不认识, 刚好两位被Berkley 收录, 另一会往LPCUW, 妈妈很开心, 竟然第一个通知我, 是与有荣焉. 看着孩子长大, 分享酸甜苦辣, 倒有点份儿啊!

他们小学是中游, 初中是中游, 没认真补习,得闲到每天到公园玩, 跟小女'hea', 书是认真读, 玩是认真玩, 总之有分数, 父母亦接受成绩OK + 态度正确, 已是很不错, 其他是尽量不管. 孩子的申请书也由孩子包办, 结果是出奇的理想.

如果要鬥,请引领孩子自己摸索, 提供资料, 鬥或不鬥是他们的選择,如何鬥, 不一定要多補習, 他们有脑袋, 一定可以找出门路, 一般父母只是二流学生, 盲目教出的多是三流学生, 那不如多花光阴在生活态度和品格培养. 其他随缘.
