New figures show that 1 in 5 children receive private tuition. There are worries that this is creating a education divide - a social injustice where families who are well-off can afford to give their children an edge but poorer working class families cannot. I vehemently disagree.
Success does not come just because you have a good teacher. Yes, it helps, but more important, is the child's attitude and commitment to his academic work. My philosophy is that if you work hard - no matter what standard of education you get at school - you can get to the top. Teachers at school or even tuition is not intended to feed you all those A grades. It is merely a budge in the right direction.
Parents who cannot afford tuition need not fret. If your child is encouraged to study hard at school and home - they will achieve.
I do not have tuition, and have survived. Whether you have it or not - to be honest, it does not make too much difference.
