Not having read the article, this is simply my opinion...but I would agree that local government schools need to do a better job of preparing their students for the rigors of western universities (whether here at Education City or abroad).
I don't get the sense that many kids here are pushed hard enough, that they struggle for any length of time (and I use the word struggle here in a good way -- what I mean is most kids here give up too easily without really trying to figure things out themselves). These are generalizations, to be sure, but by and large they are what I have found to be true here over the past decade.
I think it is great that the universities and QF are here, but now the focus needs to move to the high schools and improving the quality of education that they provide.
