Education Problems in Taiwan.

I asked my mother what are the education problems in Taiwan, and she replied, that there is too many tests and quizzes in the Taiwan school, then the students there have to attend extra lessons to help them keep up with their school work. And then, the students have a lot of homework.

what happens to the students in Taiwan that do not pass the exam in 9th grade?
My mother said that the grades of the exams determines which senior school the student will attend. This schools leads to studying in universities and colleges. The higher the grades of the students, they will attend better schools. If the student's grade in the exam is so low that no school accepts him/her, then the students could choose to study in vocational schools. These school do not lead your studying to universities and colleges.
