How is the students drop out rate related to crimes rates?
Why Victoria crime rate is 10 times of Singapore?
One of the reasons may be the high drop out rate
of students in primary and secondary.
Singapore drop out rate is 1.6%,while Oz ,in overall,is 25%,
15 times higher than Singapore!!
I hope some one will look into this relationship between students drop
out rate and crimes rates!!
25 % DROP OUT RATE AND COMPUTERS IN OZ SCHOOLS
How many of u know oz eduaction system students drop
out rate is 25%?read below then u know.
Their target:
up to $1 million per high school to allow every Australian student in Years 9 to 12 to have access to their own school computer, with the aim of lifting school retention rates from 75 to 90 per cent by 2020.
I am wandering if this mean one DESIGNATED computer for one student OR
every student in a class can have one computer
at the same time on the alloted session for using computer.
If it is the latter case,then what can I say?
Ask SG students then u know why.

PM Rudd says Murdoch is right!!
NEWS Corporation chairman and chief executive Rupert Murdoch
said Oz eduaction
"We have a 21st century economy with a 19th century education system, and it is leaving too many children behind.
"That is an injustice to these citizens and their future burden on Australian society."
He feared "tens of thousands of Australians" would be denied opportunities "if we continue to tolerate a public education system that effectively writes off whole segments of Australians".

if you are from a small town of 10000, and your passion is in mechanics.... why not drop out and follow your passion, and contribute actively to the town instead of learning about sine and cosine?
dropping out seems like a bad thing to singaporeans, when in reality, it is just an alternative way of life. learn what you need, not just learn what the government thinks you need.
