Comparison Japanese cram schools with Asian.

Southeast Asian cram schools are simillar to Japanese and  cram schools are more and more popular there. In this time, I will especially show you the case of Korea and China.

China

What cram schools do is the same as Japanese cram schools.  One's school background is so important due to Rapid economic growth in China.So it is very important to study hard for entrance examinations. And  Chinese students can take entrance examination only once a year because most universities are national universities in China. These are the reasons why cram schools are popular in China.

 

Korea

What cram schools do is the same as Japanese cram schools but study hours are much longer than Japanese cram schools.Students usually study until late at night in cram schools. They study in public schools and cram schools, in other words, they study all day long!

There is the reasons why students need to study too hard. The percentage of students who enter universities is the highest in the world. In the day of entrance examination, surprisingly, the nation supports students.For example, frights are controlled to reduse noises. In Korea, one's school background is regarded as so important that there are the trend students must study hard and enter good universities.
But there are bad problem that costs for education are too high. Monthly tuition fee of cram schools are very high because they take lessons until late at night. To solve this problem, the minister of state tries to reduse tuition fee and activate public schools.

You will notice that there are not only good point but bad point of cram schools. Studying is naturaly important but I want to think it is not good to study too hard : ) 

Recentry, Service industry like cram schools is focussed in Southeast Asia so Japanese cram schools will possibly advance into it. The one of Japanese cram schools have already advanced, that is "KUMON".
