issued a proclamation (15) prohibiting the construction of any house or shop within the city limits until after the plans were completed When the plans were unveiled to

the citizens of London, however, they were overwhelmingly rejected The most vocalleaders of the opposition were the landlords, who feared that such a drastic widening

of the streets would reduce the amount of land available for development

they had been before the fire Had the need for immediate action not been so

pressing, some kind of compromise could likely have been reached This was not to

GETTING THE BEST OUT OF OUR CHILDREN

There is a strange paradox to the success of the Asian education model On the onehand, class sizes are huge by western standards with on average between 30 and 40students per class in countries like Japan and Korea On the other hand, schoolchildren in developed Asian economies rank among the highest in the world foracademic achievement in the areas of science and mathematics, especially onstandardised tests Meanwhile, British secondary school students fail to shine inconditions most educational researchers would say are far more likely to help themsucceed

Why do Asian students seem to perform so well then? Is it their legendarydiscipline? Certainly, classroom management seems to be a whole lot easier in placeslike Korea, and perhaps lessons are more effective as a direct consequence After all,

we are only too aware of the decline in discipline standards in our own schools;belligerent and disrespectful students appear to be the norm these days Teachers inBritain seem powerless to control what happens any more Surely this situationcannot create a very effective learning environment, so perhaps the number ofstudents is far less relevant than is the manner in which they conduct themselves But there are other factors to consider, too Korean students spend a lot more timewith their teachers It seems logical to suggest, therefore, that they might formstronger bonds and greater trust, and that Korean teachers, in understanding theirpupils better, might be able to offer them a more effective learning programme Ofcourse, trust and understanding leads to greater respect as well, so Korean studentsare probably less likely to ignore their teachers’ advice

Then there is the home environment The traditional family unit still remainsrelatively intact in Korea Few children come from broken homes, so there is a sense

of security, safety and trust both at home and at school In Britain meanwhile, one inevery two marriages fails and divorce rates are sky-high Perhaps children struggle to

cope with unstable family conditions and their only way to express their frustration is

by misbehaving at school Maybe all this delinquent behaviour we are complainingabout is just a cry for help and a plea for attention

But while the Japanese, Korean and Asian models generally do seem to produceexcellent results, the statistics don’t tell the truth Asian sludents tend to put theireducation before literally everything else They do very few extracurricular activitiesand devote far more time to their studies than their British peers And this begs thequestion: is all that extra effort justified for a few extra percentage points in somemeaningless international student performance survey? So Asian students are onaverage 3-5% better at maths than Britons – big deal! What is their qualily of life like?Remember, school days are supposed to be the best, are they not?

There has been a lot of attention and praise given to these Asian models and theirimpressive statistics of late And without question, some of this praise is justified, but

it seems to be a case of two extremes in operation here At one end, there is the

discipline and unbelievably hard work ethic of the Asian students success ineducation before all else At the other end, Brilish students at times appear carelessand extremely undisciplined by comparison, but at least they DO have the free time

to enjoy their youth and explore their interests Is either system better outright? Or is

it perhaps about time we stopped comparing and started trying to combine the bestbits of both, so that we can finally offer our students a balanced, worthwhileeducation? We are not just dealing with statistics; never forget that every statistic is alittle human being somewhere who desperately needs our help and guidance - whodeserves it

Question 22: What does the writer mean when he says there is a paradox in the

Asian education model?

A There are too many students in each class

B Larger classes are expected to lead to poorer results but they do not

C Asian students outperform their peers in other countries

D Class sizes in Asia are much smaller in other parts of the world

Question 23: British secondary school students

A do better on standardised tests B have larger class sizes

C fail at school more than they succeed D enjoy better classroom conditions

Question 24: What does the writer suggest might make lessons in Korean schools

more successful than in Britain?

A stricter classroom discipline B better school Boards of Management

C more effective lesson planning D better teachers

Question 25: What can be inferred from the utterance perhaps the number of

students is far less relevant than is the manner in which they conduct themselves?

A Class size does not affect student performance

B Class size is important to maintaining control
