Forming the foundation for self-learning

23 Oct 2018 / 13:00 H.

THERE has been a shift from teacher-centric education to student-centric learning, the latter which is what the Kumon Method instills.
Through identifying, planning and implementing their own learning activities, the Kumon student develops confidence, independence, becomes self-motivated and improves his/her concentration.
Kumon believes that age and grade does not determine a student's capability. Each are individuals are encouraged to study independently.
"For children to make progress, it is more effective to meet their natural desire to grow and learn, rather than force them to advance by cramming everything into their heads," the founder Toru Kumon once said.
This is proven in the results from the Kumon Student Learning Report which shows the speed in answering a question and the value is doing so. The conducive learning environment at Kumon centres also provides space for students to work independently on given tasks. This is said to help cultivate confidence and enhance learning abilities while developing a resilient mind.
Into the last quarter of the year, Kumon Malaysia offers its Year-End Special Campaign 2018 where children between the ages of four and 17 can enjoy 1.5 months of Kumon Study (Math and English) at just a month's free.
Register now before the promotion ends on Nov 9. Every new student will receive a free Kumon bag. For details, visit www.kumonmalaysia.com or call 1800-88-1010.
