Spore govt failed miserably in mass education.
-
Despite it self-glorification by its mouthpiece, a HUGE chunk of the workforce adult population has primary or no eduation, about 25%-30% of the total workforce.
Plus those not in the work force, it is easily a third of the population.
What has the govt been doing or not done that resulted in today scenario? -
Yeah lor..... I play Nintendo during primary school..... Sega 16-Bit in secondary school.... Nintendo 64 during my NTC..... PC games all my adult live..... did not study much because i always fooling around..... I ALSO blame Govt for making me a failure in MY OWN education......
Oops...... should have BLAME MYSELF

Not too difficult to understand when the educational system here is only meant to produce elites to serve the ruling party and sieve out the rest. Principals, teachers, parents, and students are all under tremendous pressure to produce A's. Who cares about education any more?Originally posted by qpicanto:Despite it self-glorification by its mouthpiece, a HUGE chunk of the workforce adult population has primary or no eduation, about 25%-30% of the total workforce.

now yes, but TS is talking about a huge chunk of the adult population, which can mean anyone from 21 to 100 years oldOriginally posted by OO_OO_OO:yeah. now got compulsory education what
since there is at least compulsory education at primary school level, i think we should focus more on quality of education -
It's because we still have the 1st and the 2nd gen ppl.

TS is saying our workforce, who are people born 20 to 40 years ago.Originally posted by chiabaliao:Not too difficult to understand when the educational system here is only meant to produce elites to serve the ruling party and sieve out the rest.

That was already the policy even in 1965. Those days, the losers dropped out. Now, they are forced to go ITE (It's The End).Originally posted by hiphop2009:TS is saying our workforce, who are people born 20 to 40 years ago.

Yawn~~~~
i don't know whats this thread is all about? -
i just heard from the news that kindagarten teachers need to have diploma in teaching in the future.
they are required to go for english courses too. -
I noted many PAP Kindergartens are closing because of low or lack of head count. Most are enroling in private and churches which is said to impart BETTER knowledge and better English education!
It was said that most children who attended those PAP Kindergartens, end up speaking Mandarin more and are POOR in English.
So, tell me... WHAT the FARK are they doing????

Firstly, I am not an elite.Originally posted by hiphop2009:so u trying to say u are the elites la

And more and more girls are marrying non-Chinese as well. I can see what the trend is going to be. In fact the situation has reached a point where a China national will find it much harder to integrate into Singapore than any other nationals.Originally posted by ShutterBug:I noted many PAP Kindergartens are closing because of low or lack of head count.

If u add those people who joined the the work force without completing sec. education and those who completed sec school eg. N, O, A levels holdersOriginally posted by Joshua1975:+20% with only GCE 'N' level. +30% with only GCE 'O', +5% with only ITE, +10% with only Dipolma, 3% with only A level and 1% Graduate.
100 - 30 - 20 - 30 - 5 - 10 - 3 - 1 = 2
2% are MIW
it is easily more than half the workforce without a means to compete the new immigrants. -
