A thought just came to my mind as I was reading the comments and postings on education. If a child is "weak" in maths, there are tuition centers, enrichment programs such as Enopi, Kumon... lots more. But what is your child is smart, good in maths and really LOVE maths? There's probably no where to go to to learn beyond his/her level. Ever wondered why, there are more engineers than mathematicians in this country. Children with deep interest in maths, have no avenue to go beyond their peers.
Another reason why we need to relook at our education system - not just revamp of examinations systems.
Where do clever children in Malaysia go? Trinity College in Melbourne could be a start.
