| Sumario: | This text examines the enormous pressure placed on University students in Japan, Korea and Taiwan which have led to the rapid expansion of the ""cramming"" industry and to a growing number of students looking to religion and spirituality for guidance. The book examines the issue of the rise in youth suicides, and the dramatic rise in levels of cheating; both raising fundamental questions about the education system in the late 1990's. |
