No, Enopi is not the right program to study as it’s lengthy, not worth the money invested, and the worst part is that the program do not suitable to our Malaysia school syllabus!!! But I don't know about Kumon.
One of my friends enrolled her kid few tears ago and after 3-4 years of study, her kid still doing addition and subtraction. When checked with the instructor, the reason given was that the kid had not mastered the basic! According to her, she had invested more than RM5000 on it and she cannot see any result and the program also cannot help her kid in school too, because the school had been doing other topics like time, money, length, weight, volume, multiplication and division. It is just not worth the ROI (Return of Investment)!
Another problem of the program is it does not bring your kids to anywhere. Unlike other program, which I just discovered called ‘BrainBuilder’, that will enable your kids to participate in the World Class International Mathematical Competition like ICAS (International Competition and Assessments for Schools) by University of New South Wales, Australia, or MASMO (Malaysia ASEAN Mathematical Olympiads) by MOEMS, United States, and many more. These competitions will serve as a measurement how well is the program and how our kids benefit from it. The other good point about BrainBuilder is that their program is more align with our Malaysia school syllabus.
Well, those are just my personal opinion on some of the program currently offered in the market. Since there is more and more such programs setting up, it is good for us as parents to do some homework and find out more on a particular program. Choosing a wrong program will not only wasting our money, but it can also destroy the interest of a kid in that particular subject or even worst the interest of learning!
So, Enopi is a ‘NO’ for me.
