The Taiwanese government has banned pre-schoolers from taking tuition classes in English, arithmetic, essay and other subjects which focused on memorisation and critical thinking, reported Sin Chew Daily. According to media reports in Taiwan, its Cabinet approved an amendment to its Supplementary Education Act which stipulated that children below the age of six can only attend classes teaching rhythmic movements and arts. The move is said to “protect” the mental well-being of the preschoolers. Those violating the ban could face a NT$100,000 (RM10,700) to NT$500,000 (RM53,800) fine.
