Comrade, I think this is a flawed take. Even if we’re only taking about the East Asian countries, China, Korea, and Japan hardly have the same system in either teaching style or curriculum.
Also, “creativity” doesn’t necessarily arise out of boredom. Sure, someone might get bored and write a story or make a tik tok vid, but there are also many forms of creativity that involve a lot of hard work and support systems. Creative things like plays and orchestras don’t tend to arise spontaneously of boredom.
No, but they’re unified in how they evaluate and reward a “good” education:
China has gaokao, South Korea has CSAT, and Japan has the common test. All of these are unified by the fact that they directly evaluate scholastic ability (unlike the ACT/SAT), are substantially harder than the American equivalent, and more directly correspond to university admissions.

Plays and orchestras take time.
