Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Why Singapore has the
smartest kids in the world
More and more teenagers
are entering higher education and more college graduates are taking continuing education.
In the meantime, date, information and knowledge are easily accessible via the
net. Rote learning seems to be a legacy from the post war education, doesn’t
it?
Now what makes people more
competitive or qualified in the 21st century seems to be the intelligence
to use the knowledge and the ability to apply it into practice. The question is
how to educate today’s children to learn such intelligence and ability. One
answer is found in Singapore, a tiny resource-less country that became independent
only half a century ago. They started from nothing but a port. The domestic
market is far too small to sustain the nation’s economy. They had no choice but
to become competitive by growing talents through education.
Enjoy seeing the video
and think what will make today’s children be ready for the future.
