答案  Learning is much more interactive than when I was at school. In the past, teachers taught and students spent almost all the time at their desks, writing in their notebooks and doing exercises. Nowadays, students use computers, go on trips to various places and younger kids play games that help them learn. I know some parents who are a little traditional and think that these new methods are a waste of time, but I have to disagree. My son loves his classes and my daughter learns a lot at kindergarten. I only hope that they retain their love of learning!
I think that the learning process would be improved if there were fewer students in each class. There are about 25 kids in my son’s class, which is far too many in my opinion. I’d like to see about 15 in each class, so that teachers could give each child more individual attention. I know that it would cost more to do this, as more teachers would have to be hired, but I would be prepared to pay higher taxes to help cover it.
The majority don’t, but it is becoming more common. It’s mainly younger adults—say up to the age of 35—that want to study in the evenings and at weekends. They often want to rise quickly within their companies and getting higher qualifications is one way to achieve that aim. The most popular kinds of courses are those related to management and finance, since people with qualifications are most likely to be promoted to middle- and upper-management positions.
I think that the two most important subjects will always be your native language and maths. Employers see those as basic requirements for employees. Without them, you are highly unlikely to get a good job. After those, I’d say computing—pretty much essential in the modern world—then a foreign language, preferably English since it’s so widely spoken. Other languages are useful though, particularly Spanish, Arabic and Chinese. I’d like my kids to learn a non-European language. Science is also very important, since science is obviously closely associated with technology. I’d say that geography, economics and history are useful, but not as important as the other subjects I have mentioned.
I think that the main benefit is that it allows more people to study and allows them to study flexibly. Whenever they have time, they can access materials—even if it’s the middle of the night! On the other hand, I sometimes wonder about the quality of the courses offered online and I still think that learning from, or with, a teacher is the most effective way of learning, since there is interaction between teacher and student.
