From the article:
South Korean students perform well on international tests. But like students all over the world, they are less and less engaged with school. They just don’t like it.
“You measure the activity of brain when they are in the the classroom and it’s not working at all, even compared to when they are sleeping,” says Ju Ho Lee, the former minister of education, science, and technology in South Korea who is now a professor at the KDI School of Public Policy and Management.
No initiative no matter how big or how much loaded with dollars will work in any country if the capacity building of the education department/policies is not strong. In Pakistan the government must play its role in the uplifting of govt schools and its teachers through professional development by the development of sensible, realistic policies .
We agree that governments must develop measurable education sectors plans that focus on student learning. Funding for those education systems is just part of the overall needs.
