It's the same sort of situation in Malaysia. There was a stark contrast in terms of educational methods after I moved to Canada. I was used to memorizing a lot of facts so thinking critically and asking questions was a big leap for me. I did well in high school tests because I was used to all the standardized exams back in Malaysia but I had to really pluck up my courage to raise my hands, be more outspoken and develop my own viewpoints.
