Factors in success:
No political interference.
Highly-qualified teachers - minimum Masters Degree.
Trust in Teachers who have continuity in educating the children
Ownership by Teachers in their student's success
Relaxed teaching atmosphere
Multi-languages
Focus on Science and Maths
Success is not measured by winners or losers. No failures, only teamwork. Everyone is helped regardless of mental capacity.
Slow students are given extra help.
Parents also take strong interest and help in their children's education.
Contrast that with Malaysia where we have stupid people teaching people to become more stupid so that they are easier to control. After 3 generations, we won't be able to recognize what we get - hence Mat Rempits, Bohsias, drug addicts, criminals, etc. We have University dons who dare not show their faces in International Conferences, who hide behind a facade of bluster of Ketuanan Melayu, who suffer from a strong inferiority complex and low self-esteem. Finally, they hang on to the NEP like a life-raft, fearful that they will drown once they let go. Pitiful. bbc. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/world_news_america/8605791.stm)
