This is why in Thailand the education system, with it's outdated rote delivery, is really failing to keep Thailand competitive in SE Asia. Those in power have to recognise that there are other aspects to learning other than visual and repetition. In order for this to happen a cultural shift has to occur, and in reality, this could take a long time.
