Tuition for All

This is perhaps not much more than a thought than something that has been well formulated, but..

it seems that taking extra tuition is the rage these days. Everyone is doing it. Even the Ministry of Education is giving away tuition vouchers for 'needy' students, so that they are not left behind.

Now.. let's see.

If everyone needs tuition - then doesn't this mean that

- the teaching is inadequate; or
- that the syllabus in over convoluted, so much so that the students don't have time to learn everything within the prescribed school hours; or
- if the emphasis at tuition is on study skills and - let's face it - how to tackle exam questions so that you get straight A's with minimal effort, then perhaps this should be integrated into the syllabus so that students who are less well off to go to the top tuition centers are not left out?

I dunno..
