My personal observation after putting my boy who is totally a non-auditory learner through the education here.
In Singapore, education method is mainly in auditory format. In primary school education, the children are usually arranged in a classroom all (40 of them) facing the teacher in rows and columns. Very minimum interaction is allowed between the children. Most of the time, the teacher will do the teaching and the children the listening.
This is the most traditional teaching method.
However, in a population, what is the percentage of children being a auditory learner is unknown. No study was conducted.
Although the modern teachers educated in teaching and education university undergraduate environment, most still do not know how to help kinaesthetic learners. They build in so-called outside-classroom learning time but the method is still very traditional, even on a outing to Chinatown, the children are still handed pieces of paper to complete with wordings.
I am doing more reading on this and will write more soon.
