possible through developments in information technology.
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory.
Some of the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or
instruction from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home.
Students must complete a minimum number of study hours per year; however, they may make up
these hours by studying at home at times that suit their family schedule. They can log on early or
late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each student is
learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week
each student studies on-line as well as that students’ learning materials and assessment activities.
Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the best learning
activities and conditions for each individual student and generate similar activities. It can also
identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the student’s needs.
1.________If students are under 10, they won’t have to go to school on a daily basis.
2.________Sometimes students go to school to pay their tuition fees.
3.________There are some requirements about the learning hours that students must complete in
a year.
4.________There is no way to find out whether students are learning adequately.
5.________Students can be provided with learning programs that best suit them.
