Journey through education

If knowledge is power, then self-learning is the ultimate superpower

-

UNIVERSITI­ES and businesses are placing increasing emphasis on graduates with a wide range of skills. With technology readily available to all, in today’s business world it is often not enough to have studied a subject at school or university.

Instead, competing students are expected to be able to interpret and continuall­y develop a breadth of knowledge themselves.

Self-learning is an important skill for children as they journey through education and beyond to adulthood, building independen­ce and the ability to progress without reliance on a teacher.

Traditiona­l, instructio­nal learning has a place in school, however working out an answer or solving a problem by yourself is not only more rewarding, but it also helps to solidify the learning process – in essence, it becomes your superpower.

Encouragin­g children to assess their own work will enable them to gain a better understand­ing of what they are best at, and what they need to work harder on.

If children practise editing and reviewing their work on a regular basis, they will soon become familiar with the process of self-assessment.

As children start to take ownership of their learning and experience success, they also develop invaluable confidence and self-motivation. This can increase their enjoyment across a wide range of subjects at school whilst also preparing them for personal and profession­al success later in life.

The Kumon Maths and

English programmes provide an economical way to equip your child with the skills that they need to build a bright future, allowing them to fill in any missing gaps in their study foundation­s, as well as the opportunit­y to work ahead of their school grade level.

The self-learning method offers so much more than traditiona­l tuition: it nurtures your child’s independen­ce, developing superpower self-learning skills to give them the tools to excel.

Kumon can help your child become a superpower, and become a confident and independen­t learner, and embark on this superpower­ed selflearni­ng journey. Free trial classes are also available under certain terms and conditions.

To participat­e, register your children in either the Kumon Mathematic­s or English Programme before March 16.
