I’ve always thought that tuition is solely for the children of kiasu parents, coming from the perspective of a mother with 3 very young children going into primary school. But it was only once one of my sons got in to Primary One that I realized tuition is actually a necessary evil.
It’s something that you can’t do without if you want to ensure your child does well in school. In the current education system, teachers can’t give individual attention to their students in the classrooms, so parents need to make up for that at home.

For a child whose parent has joined the school as a parent volunteer not later than 1 Jul 2010 and has given at least 40 hours of voluntary service to the school by 30 Jun 2011, you can see full detail on the official website of Kaisu Parents. Hence the need for tuition.
Additionally a lot of emphasis is placed on academic assessments starting from Primary One. A child only does well in this when he/she is drilled in doing assessment papers. So it’s necessary to send your kids to the experts so you’ll know that you’re on the right path.
The crux of the problem is that, as a parent, we also struggle with the fact that we want to give our kids time to play. First time parents especially won’t be privy to what sort of knowledge is really needed for this. We congratulate to all these schools on achieving this coveted status. Basically we want our children to be holistic individuals.source
