What Happens When a Teacher From China Takes Over a British Schoolroom?
Listen to the Trumpet Daily radio program that aired on August 7.
Why are Chinese students three years ahead of their British peers when it comes to subjects like math, reading and science? Melanie Philips wrote in her latest column that “Chinese education is based on discipline, the authority of the teacher and ruthless competition.” These qualities are fading or completely absent in most British schools. Instead, the West has taken the approach of letting the student dictate the curriculum and teaching method. Why isn’t this working? Find out more about this latest trend and much more on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
