This problem exists for several decades, even though the Ministry of Education launched a new grid-forged system to modernize the curriculum, that actual credits focused on writing textbook is still dominant in build classroom and even final exam.

The students become a better at memorizing things, better things like facts and formulas, just to pass the exam, that they struggle to apply this knowledge in real life. Secondly, it causes numerous amounts of mental and anxiety for youngsters. Because there are a lot of portions of family belief that getting high-grief is the only way to have a better future.

I would like to talk about the major challenge with the basic education system in my country, which is the deeply rooted culture of rote learning and the intense pressures surrounding the high school matriculation system. This problem has existed for several decades, even though the Ministry of Education launched a new, forward-thinking system to modernize the curriculum. The actual focus on writing from textbooks is still dominant in building classrooms and even in final exams. This has two main negative impacts on students. First of all, because the exam requires students to write directly on their test answers, creative thinking and creativity are mostly ignored. Students become better at memorizing facts and formulas just to pass the exam, but they struggle to apply this knowledge in real life. Secondly, it causes a significant amount of mental anxiety for youngsters. There are many family beliefs that getting high grades is the only way to have a better future. This means our future entirely depends on this kind of education system. To solve this problem, we need to look beyond changing textbooks and focus on training teachers to adapt.
