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.
