Taiwan, also called Formosa, has been progressed a lot in many respects over the past decades. However, as one of the citizens of this country, I think that we still can improve our society to be a better and more prosperous one. From my point of view, a great country is based on good education. Therefore, what Taiwan can learn from other countries is the system of education.
In Taiwan, every student should spend a lot of time studying textbooks because we put too much emphasis on the myth that a student’s scores surely determines his/her advanced learning in college and his/her abilities in working in the future. Thus, in order to get good grades, parents may believe that their children had better go to cram school to learn how to answer questions by drilling. Students in Taiwan somewhat may have better abilities on exams than those of students in other countries. But, when they grow up, they don’t really have abilities of self-learning, not to mention how to fulfill their dreams in reality.
In Northern Europe, teachers should help their students explore their potentials in the process of learning. They tend to stimulate students instead of drilling and practicing how to answer questions on a paper-pencil test. Learning to be is more important than their grades on subjects. I think that we can learn the good of their education and make a sound educational policy for our students. As a result, students in Taiwan may survive and achieve what he/ she want to be in this global village.
