Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Will an
advert change the way Singaporeans think about education?
In
school, what success means varies by student, doesn’t it? It could mean grades for
some while participation to certain activities may mean more to others. But in
Singapore whose school system is said to be one of the best in the world, it
simply means grades or academic performance, in short, test scores.
The
ministry of education doesn’t seem happy by simply enjoying the current
education. They are now trying to encourage students and teachers, and more
importantly parents, to look and work beyond test scores.
It is a
sensitive and controversial topic because schools, teachers and parents are
used to having one measurement for all.
Enjoy reading
and thinking what education means to the small city country where there are no
natural or geographical resources to sustain its growth.
