In Asia, Cram Schools Are a Ticket to Success... And Stress | That's So Asian

Why are remedial education and cram schools so prevalent in Asia? Cram schools familiar to Asian students are often inconceivable to Westerners – How can one study from 17:00 to 10:00 p.m. after school? (Go home and study even more?) Could the concepts behind cram-school culture and by extension credentialism be part of a greater global phenomenon? What kind of social mechanisms are at play in this race for diplomas from the top schools? What is its significance? Hoping to present balanced perspectives, the production team invited more than 20 interviewees, including renowned scholar Benson Yeh, YouTuber ​​Waysunman, Teach for Taiwan founder Anting Liu, as well as students and teachers from India, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, to give their direct perspectives on the topic.
