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 essence of the modern state is that the universal be bound up with the complete freedom of its particular members and with private well-being, that thus the interests of family and civil society must concentrate themselves on the state.... It is only when both these moments subsist in their strength that the state can be regarded as articulated and genuinely organized.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“You send your child to the schoolmaster, but ‘tis the schoolboys who educate him. You send him to the Latin class, but much of his tuition comes, on his way to school, from the shop- windows.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
