Western education VS Asian education. Who wins?

I just read a few articles about problems of our education. Suddenly I was thinking, is western education really good? Why are every Asians keep thinking of following the western education? Is it really better?

Well, personally I doubt so. Although western education has it's own pros but does it mean that Asian education is not good. NO... Asian education has it's own pros too. Only that many did not see that.
First, although Asian education have been very competitive,but still it is the most suitable for Asians.  It have given tremendous stress to students, but look at those who succeeded through it, many have succeeded in many different ways. If Asian education is really that bad, why is there so many success. Not saying anything personal or what, but Asians are really competitive, until a certain extend it had been an important part of Asians. Competition is everywhere, parents compete their children's result or performance, students compete their own results between each other, teachers compete their student's result. I may seems like giving a lot of stress to students, but looking at it at another way, without it, would students do their best for exams? It another way it actually motivates students to study well, to make themselves have more knowledge than others. Is there any problem with it? Well, to me there isn't any, if students themselves know how to manage their stress.
 Secondly, always there have been controversy about textbooks, on what we study. Many students,especially Asian hate subjects that they feel is not useful, hate one subject or another, thinking that it is boring. Does it mean that is it really boring, is the subject really not required to be study? I don't think so, I have always believe that every thing the world has a reason why is it there. Subjects like history are actually very useful subjects that would help us in our life in one way or another, and the problem of it is boring is mainly due to the teaching of the teacher, but no comment on that.
Thirdly, the way teachers teach or in another words, the education system as a whole. I believe this is the main reason why many have believed that western education is better. I would say, both are equally good education system, but they are never perfect. It all depends on how you use the education system. The success or failure of a person does not all depends on teachers or school, there are many other factors play an important role in the education system, but many are still blaming the school, the teachers, or maybe the government.

Is western education really that good? I doubt so. Even there have been many compliments on the western education, but at the same time, critics on western education is increasing, especially the increasing no. of social problems now is happening within the younger generation of western countries. Also I have always believe that both western and Asian education are similar in certain ways, only that we only always think that the grass on the other side is greener.

 I have always believe there is no perfect education and there will never be too. Every child have their own personality, own characteristic, own thinking, own background which makes each different child is suitable for different type of education. But is it possible in the world that there would be 'custom-made' education suitable for each different child? Even if you don't think so far about it, how would you know which type of education is suitable for the child?
The most important for all is that everyone just need to make yourself comfortable in your own ways and be happy! :)

All of this is just my own opinion which may not be true as I did not really go and understand everything about it, and also I'm not an educationist, a politician or what. I'm just a student and only writing my own views on the current education system. Everything is just what I think.
