Education in the abstract is good, but East Asia is probably not the model to emulate. IMO East Asia has Goodharted "education" to the point of being acutely destructive to society. South Korea treats education so seriously that the endless death march of cram school is widely cited as a primary cause of their cratering birth rate. China recently realized the zero-sum rat race of private school tutoring was causing a similar effect and is trying to ban it. There are fixes to be applied to US education but East Asia isn't where to look to.
