1. Please don't force the children to buy useless textbooks which are not comprehensive enough. At the moment there is a huge sideline industry for other "outside" study guides which are a thousand times better than the school textbooks! It penalises the children from poor families who already spend all their money on the Official textbooks.
2. Children learn the selfishness from parents. Parents are selfish because of the education system here. So, the root cause is the education system here. Under the current system, only those who can perform better academically will be "rewarded" with a place in "good" school. Consequently, lucrative career awaiting them in government service. As there are limited vacancies in these "good" schools, do you think parents would share useful info among their friends so that children of their friends would land a place in these good schools? That's how the selfishness begins and unwittingly pass it to the next generation...sad!
3. University degrees ought not to be valued over other factors in recruitment, unless the technical knowledge or skills required are those that cannot be acquired otherwise (medical, engineering, or specific professional degrees). For example, an general office worker does not require a degree to be competent; rather, what should be required are good language skills and other skills that are relevant to the job. A university degree may be a sufficient condition, but it ought not be a necessary condition.
4. Good results/certification does not equal to good future.
