Private Tuition
In recent years private tuition has become very common among students due to the competitiveness of the education system, they usually take private tuition after school hours and during the weekend. In October 2011, the government amend the Education Act to extend the ban on private tuition to pupils in Standards I to III to those in Standard IV. The government introduce the Enhancement Programme as an alternative to private tuition for students in Standards I to IV, a programme which cover the pedagogical aspects of the respective curriculum, as well as co-curricular and extra-curricular components to render the learning experiences more enriching, enjoyable and rewarding.

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or tuition:
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“Miss C_____ is ... remarkably neat in her person and is uncommonly diligent in every part of useful economy.... She hath indeed under her father’s tuition acquired ... a large share of real learning of almost all the living and dead languages. Nor was the leisure which she found for such acquirements produced by neglecting anything necessary or useful for the family, but by the most assiduous industry.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
