School English education does not work

The education ministry revealed the results of English test for the 3rd year high school students. It shows that 70% of them remains the level of middle school. It implies that the school English education does not work. Especially, speaking and writing are awful.

I guess the biggest reason of the result is that they are not motivated to skill up English because they are forced to learn English not for communication but for entrance exam for university. It is reluctant for most of them to study hard. Among other things, English is one of the most reluctant subjects with mathematics.

Students try to remember English words as many as possible without having a chance to utilize the words though it is more important to express with simple words in real communication.

I suppose the subject music should be more connected with English such as singing English songs or playing an English musical.
