What Happens When a Teacher from China Takes Over a British Schoolroom?

Why are Chinese students three years ahead of their British peers when it comes to subjects like math, reading and science? Melanie Philips wrote in her latest column: “Chinese education is based on discipline, the authority of the teacher and ruthless competition.” These qualities are fading, or are completely absent in most British schools. Instead, the West has taken the approach of letting the student dictate the curriculum and teaching method. Why isn’t this working? Find out more about this latest trend and much more on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
