These days, students, especially those sitting for external exams, tend to attend tutorial classes even if there is no need, but at least those notes from renowned tutors can set their hearts at ease.
After all, this thriving scenario mainly stems from the spoon-feeding education system in Hong Kong. In most cases, if not all, a public exam certificate with a better result means a brighter career prospect, without which people cannot secure a steady job.
I can just say tutorial classes are a mixed blessing. On one hand, students can feel more secure with the help of "tutor kings"; but on the other, the notes students get from tuition schools may not be worth it of which the contents may be the exact same as textbooks. Students should be familiar with their own ability and should not attend tutorial lessons indiscriminately. In this way, it does pay to attend tutorial lessons=) |
