Education Reform in Singapore



As you know well, Singapore is the smallest country in the ASEAN Economic Community Members. But it has the biggest economy in the rank. There are 699 square kilometers and 4.48 million people in Singapore. It has less in natural resources but it is the export and import country of ASEAN as a harbor country.

The important thing to makes Singapore differ from other countries in ASEAN, it is a formal language. Because of it has been using English Language to be a formal language of the country for a long time. So that make Singapore have more chance to be the leader in the AEC.

By the way, Singapore has really known in its weakness well. So that, it has tried to come up with the highest goal for the country how to improve itself by without things that it doesn't have. Because of Singapore has limitation resources in the country.

Therefore, Singapore has recognized about "the human resource" because it is only one resource that it has.Then Singapore has reformed the education system since 1959 . How to train Singapore people to be better? According to Lee Sing Kong (2012) he is a Director, National Institute Singapore Education, he says" teachers are the hardest of the whole education system"


Thus, the best answer of this point is a "teacher". He/She need to be able to make kids very fun along with learning in school as " learn hard but play harder" By adaptation of a lot of new technologies and innovations to teaching his/her kids.
