All
frontline teachers wish to provide tailored education for each child
based upon the latter’s degree of readiness, but it is fundamentally
not practical. Junyi has uncovered other problems which brought even
more negative effect:
1.Substantive
gap in fundamentals
One in every two pupils in Hualien and Taitung
counties is
not equipped with the basic literacy in English and mathematics in
Comprehensive Assessment Program for Junior High School
Students.
Taipei City has the best student assessment results among all the
counties and cities, but the corresponding index, one in every six
students, is still below expectation.
2. Children
who lack confidence.
Once a pupil falls behind the rest of the class
in
mathematics, he tends to lose confidence and self-efficacy himself and
demonstrates reluctance in learning. In the long run, Taiwan will lose
its competitive edge.
Junyi emphasizes children’s right to learn.
Children should be placed at the center of education. We must believe
in them.
Fast learner has the opportunity to get ahead of
learning
schedule on the Junyi platform. Those who take more time do not have to
worry about being left behind but free to select their tempos and
means. Learning is fun. When children take initiative in
learning, they will open up more possibilities and opportunities.
Junyi
brings to children the concept of ethics. Junyi believes that child who
enjoys learning will turn into someone who embraces the world. Such
ethics will be developed along with one’s upbringing which eventually
becomes heartfelt care for the society that nurtured him in the first
place.
Vision of the
Junyi platform
“Every
child has the ability to reach out to the world and the heart to
contribute to the society”. Junyi Academy takes full advantage of
technologies to enable children to learn at tempo tailored for
individual pupil.
