The East Asian economic miracle was built on a number of sturdy pillars: harkwork, high savings rates and Confucian values. And for years, Asia could rest easy in the knowledge that its school systems were producing the best anh the brightest. Rising GDPs were proof, so were the calculus prodigies and engineers churned out by the millions. East Ansia students almost always scores higher in international math and science test--across the board, country by country--than their counterparts in the West. Students were diligent, quiet, involved in copying down the daily lessons. It was nothing like the chaos of, say, American schools with the spitballs and pierced evebrows.
The contrast isn't so stark anymore. Recent math and science test scores show US students gaining ground on their counterparts in Asia. And with their rote-based curriculums and examcentric systems, Asians are finding that even children who attend the very best public schools lack the creative skills to compete in a new, challenging information economy. Who can name more than a handful of famous East Asian scientist or mathematicians--if that many? Now, some of the ailmentd of the West have come East. The dropout phenomenon, once considered exclusively Western, has reached Asia shores: in 1999, a record 130.000 Japanese primary and junior high school students refused to attend school in more than a month. The trendiest neighborhoods in Tokyo, Seoul and Taipei are filled with disaffected kids plaing hooky, their ennul relieved by designer drugs and designer shopping.
Most alarming is the towering degree of unhappiness among Asia kids. Schools are suddenly plagued with record levels of violent crime and sky-high suicide rates. In Hong Kong, one in three teens have had suicidal thoughts, up 28% from two years ago. The numbers of teenagers between the ages of 15 and 19 in Thailand who commit suicide in sceond only to adult workers. Those children maybe on the extreme edge, but some of the kids in the front rows are almost as unhappy and frustrated. "Something has gone very wrong with our school", say Hiroshi Yoshimoto, a director ih the educationreform division of Japan's Education Ministry. "We all know we have to reform". The good news is that things are changing. Governments are figuring it out after decades of white papers and bureaucratic backsliding. Parents, too: as countless moms and dads get laid off from jobs they thought they had for life, adults are realizing there's little reason for kids to endure Asia's stiffing schools ig there's no promise of success upon graduation. thus new schools are offering refuge to kids sick of rote learning eager for some real education. "We would like to teach kids the method of acquiring knowledge, rather than just facts", says Lee Ki Woo, a Seoul education offical, who is helping oversea south Korean's education reforms. "The existing education system now needs to produce a new breed of leaders who have a certain ruggedness, an ability to respond quickly to situations" says Tharman Shanmuragatnam, Singapore's Senior Minister of State for Education.
Rhe main goal of East Asia schools: to churn out literate, disciplined workers for factories and offices. The secondary goal: to decant the country's finest test-takers into the best jobs in government ministries and top corporations. Stated so simply, that sounds like a meritocracy, but the reality is very different. What it means to most East Asia kids is a childhood of "examination hell". From the day their children set foot in kindergarten, the goal of most parents is to get them into one of the good public high schools. The better the high schools, the higher the chance of getting into a good university. The pressure intensifies in high school, which becomes one long cram session for college admission. in many countris, if a student wants to hedge his bets and apply to, say, four universities, he has to study that many times over: each school has its own exam. That's a whole lot of studying: in school, at home into the wee hours and at private cram schools that are major industris throughout east Asia. Even worse are the social implications of failure. The tiny minority who make it into good universities are, theoretically, the winners. Everyone else is a loser. "our education system was focused on the country's economic success that is ignored individual success", says Wang Jenn Wu, a former member of Taiwan's Cabinet-level education reform committee.
