I have learnt that this song not only criticises the old English education system, but can also be tied back to the Singaporean education system in many ways, including the restriction of creativity. In Singapore, people may find it weird when they see their classmates writing a poem, and they may be "judged". Though not to the extent of the video, the Singaporean system and environment in general discourages creativity and pursuit in the arts.

I have also managed to see some imagery that i did not spot at first, for example: I learnt that the scene where students fall into a meat grinder can symbolise the stress and upset the students face, thus committing suicide.

In Singapore and China, we study hard for the fear of failing our exams, which would most probably decide whether we succeed or fail in life, as can be seen from most of our classmates comments and Ruo Bei's comment in the forum.
However, in Malaysia teachers are allowed to mete out physical punisjments which force the students to behave and study in order to avoid being hit by rulers or other materials wielded by teachers in the classroom, as seen in Zhen Xi's comment.

Therefore, I can learn that the education system varies from country to country and motivstions for students range from the fear of losing out to the fear of being hit by teachers, but as seen in all cases students do not have an actual motivation to study by themselves and this would be quite detrimental in the future.

What I would like to know more about is how to improve the education system to further help, improve and benefit the students. Students in Singapore is nowadays very stressed out by the existing grading system. In fact, schools focus too much on academics and pay very little interests to the passions of the students. The education system should allocate more time for students to further pursue their passions and go on to realise them, and this would help them be creative and would think about their future. This, the education system has to improve for students to become creative and realise their passions

I have learnt that education in the past is extremely confined and even now in the present, is restrained to a certain extent. The schools area also very strict in their education and does not allow for much creativity to be expressed in their everyday work. Thus, the education system might cause a student' mental health to deteriorate.
