    The SDP believes that education must be the process where an individual learns to discover oneself and, in doing so, endeavour to improve the human condition. For the sake of our nation’s future, it is important that we teach our children that reading and learning can be enjoyable and intrinsically rewarding.

      then put your ideals into practice. set up tuition centres under SDP and gain traction, then you can influence the education system to go your way. prove what you propose by creating a cohort practicing your ideas. don't just talk, do it.

      Terence Tao has a Fields medal. To date no Singaporean has ever won a Fields medal, despite high PISA math ranking.

    SDP also proposes to abolish the PSLE, and this should be complemented by broadening the curricula and reducing the workload. He added: “Such an approach will enrich our students’ educational experience and prepare them for a future that will require them to be well-rounded, intelligent individuals.”

      Dr Chee, your proposals are regurgitated from decades ago when you were a protege of Chiam See Tong. Moreover, abolition of PSLE and other reforms have been debated extensively. Have you any new ideas?

    “This is because education is not about competition with one’s classmates but learning through collaboration and teamwork with one’s peers,” he noted. Competition for top-ranked schools is unhealthy and has inflicted serious psychological damage, according to mental health professionals, on our children.

      SDP is so out of touch with what's happening in schools nowadays. Go visit Singapore schools and see if that's true. Regurgitating old arguments instead of catching up with current reforms.

    As singapore had changed to a multi-nation country (multi-nation-singapore)so even with the saf soldiers also no use, it's the pap party mistakes and there's no way to u-turn back.

    Learning Math is useless most of this could be done by everyday tools used in offices. Reading is essential though

      Don't know Algebra is exceptionally useful for clerical staff to automate reports? Don't know different statistics are important for making business decisions? Or have no in depth knowledge of mathematics?😝
