pero behind naman yung education system here in pinas.. a 5 years old in australia can not read or write other than their name.
if you are 5..automatic go to primary school.
a 4 years old in pinas can read 3 letter words and know phonetically the sound of the alphabet. but because you are 4 even if you can read and write..you go to pre school even if you are better than the 5 years old.
they only get "intensive" things when they are in high school or older.
