PM on S'pore education review
We have a good system
As Singapore reviews its education system, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong yesterday tried to put things in perspective.
His message: Singapore's education system is a good one that has delivered results over the years.
Mr Lee, who was the guest of honour at the anniversary celebration of Chong Boon Secondary School in his Teck Ghee ward, said the education system has been criticised for being too structured, pressured and competitive, The Straits Times reported.
He acknowledged that this has caused stress for some parents and students.
To address these concerns, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has taken steps to reduce pressure and unhealthy competition in the past year. For example, by not releasing the names of the top Primary School Leaving Examination performers and banding, instead of grading, students for co-curricular activities.
"But while we try to improve our education system further, we should not forget that we have a good system which delivers good results," he added.
This has been borne out by the consistently good performance of students in international competitions and rankings, said Mr Lee, with the most recent being the Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa).
Singapore's 15-year-olds came out top in problem-solving in the global ranking of student skills conducted by the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.
This was a test could not be studied for and which required common sense, creativity and judgement, noted Mr Lee.
The 14,00 students who took the test were randomly picked by Pisa and not the MOE, said Mr Lee, and had come from different schools and socio-economic backgrounds and were of different races.
"We can confidently say that our schools and our students are not faring too badly, compared to any other country," he said.
But more can be done to raise the quality of every education institution here, no matter who they cater to, he added.

Singapore's education system does not educate students to think creatively.. -
Hello. I am a half Taiwanese and I go back to Taiwan every year.
There are two sides. In Taiwan, people are much friendlier. They queue up orderly in the train stations. And everyone avoids the priority seats. Students are not stressed in schools. Everything is cheap but don't forget, the salary is also low.
Even though I love Taiwan more than Singapore, I know the better place to live in is Singapore.
In Singapore, We complain about a stressful lifestyle and high standard of living. But there is always a trade off. This is a safe country to live in, you don't have to worry about going home late at 10 or 11 at night. You don't hear about murders, rapes etc in the news on a weekly basis. The political system is relatively transparent and non currupted.

There are naive people who think that taiwan govt is worse than pappies. Black gold ..... as if pappies are perfect without flaws. Taiwan govt good or bad, at least they listen to their people. Pappies pay themselves highest pay in the world and provide us down the drain service. Transparency and corruption wise, they refuse to let our most respected late President Ong to check on them . So what shit are people talking about when they mentioned sg govt is transparent and corruption free. Please they are worse than worst so don't need to defend them. By doing so people are in accomplice with them to bring difficulty to locals.

......... and that chao lau ah qua LEE HSIEN LOONG is super attention whore. It keeps talking and talking and self praising. SELF PRAISE IS INTERNATIONAL DISGRACE! as if he hasn't disgrace singaporeans enough internationally. The more he talks the more uselessness he reveals. Empty vessel makes the most noise.

For your view on non-corrupted, it was true in the past (only 2 rare 'history' case involving from HDB and PUB board) until when our gahment decided to build 2 casinos here, and irony later, it is one of an civil servant from Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) officer who misappropriated money for 'gambling' and charged.
Also not to forget you can't even trust local 'charities' organisation nowadays cos you might never know where the money go to, just read the past NKF, Renci and the recent CHC news you will know what I mean . Do Taiwan had the same problem with charities organisation misappropriated of fund as well?

In taiwan, when govt officials do something wrong they resign to be responsible and apologise. In singapore, govt officials do not say sorry and stay on to continue suck our money.

to many people, grass is always greener on the other side....there is never a happy place for them....trade off is a wisdom in life that not many people know how to appreciate.

It is not that we love to complain but it is just too unreasonable -

Many of these are the cause of life for middle and lower income going down.

I am not brain-washed, I have studied enough to know the truth about Singapore's political system. (Think: the fact that Singapore government can pay themselves that kind of salaries openly, the fact that a certain family seems to be in control of Singapore etc). I do not think Singapore is a 100% free from corruption, that is why I said it was 'relative'. Then again, no country can be a 100% free from corruption. There are alot of things I dislike about here. Like any Singaporean, I do not like that the country no longer belongs to true-blue Singaporeans (I know it's ironic as I have a Taiwanese mother). But I was born in Singapore and have studied its education from kindergarten all the way to a local university. There are many things that I do not agree with its system - the way that the school systems are taught to indirectly support PAP's works, the way that research/views that are political-sensitive will never get a chance to be published openly etc. I do not like that Singaporeans are not 'protected' in schools, universities, workplace - foreigners seem to be accepted before us.
My view is that if you truly dislike living here, then leave this place for a few years. Go out there and experience for yourselves. Retain your Singaporean citizenship so that you can also return whenever. That is what I will be doing - moving to South Korea for good but retaining my citizenship.
Good luck to you.

Your choice lo
SG is more fast-pased while Taiwan life is much more slow and relaxing. And indeed the income will be lower, but living cost lower too.

In sg not only work is hardest finding job is super hardest with pappies keep bringing foreigners to work here. Costs of living also going up and up. Our suffering and oppression under lau qua loong also the hardest compare to its predecessors.

Sad to see you go. Singapore needs more people like you.
