Learning from Singapore tells the inside story of the country's
journey in transforming its education system from a struggling one
to one that is hailed internationally as effective and successful.
It is a story not of the glory of international test results, but
of the hard work and tenacity of a few generations of policy
makers, practitioners and teacher trainers. Despite its success,
Singapore continues to reform its education system, and is willing
to deal with difficult issues and challenges of change. Citing
Singapore's transformation, author Pak Tee Ng highlights how
context and culture affect education policy formulation and
implementation. Showing how difficult education reform can be when
a system needs to negotiate between competing philosophies,
significant trade-offs, or paradoxical positions, this book
explores the successes and struggles of the Singapore system and
examines its future direction and areas of tension. The book also
explores how national education systems can be strengthened by
embracing the creative tensions generated by paradoxes such as the
co-existence of timely change and timeless constants,
centralisation and decentralisation, meritocracy and compassion,
and teaching less and learning more. Learning from Singapore brings
to the world the learning from Singapore-what Singapore has learned
from half a century of educational change-and encourages every
education system to bring hope to and secure a future for the next
generation.
