Asians rote learning score merits if complemented by creativity - Shanghai's success in PISA

It is not an achievement that is easy to replicate. The Shanghaiese must have got things right somehow. Combining acquisition of knowledge with stimulation of creativity seem to be the right formula for success. 

These bright kids will reap the most benefits when they go to America and Europe for their tertiary and post-graduate education. All owing to the strong foundation and knowledge acquired  in the early years of their education.
