education in singapore
section one
a in singapore, every child has a place in the education system where he is accorded an equal opportunity
to excel to the limits of his ability.
b the objective of the education system is to develop children’s potential and ability to the fullest so as to
enable them to become useful and loyal citizens who contribute to the building of a responsible, cohesive
and robust society.
section two
c a child in singapore goes through an average of ten years of formal education. he starts at the age of six in
primary one. at the end of six year
s, he sits for the primary school leaving examination (psle) and would
have completed his primary education. he then proceeds to a secondary school and
continues another four or five years culminating in the gce’o’ levels. the best of
the ‘o’ level students will continue with preuniversity in preparation for tertiary education.
d. the education system recognises that the abilities of publics are not homogenous. in 1980
streaming was introduced to maximise every child’s potential by providing for different courses that would allow pupils to normal course, a child completes his primary education in primary six while in the extended and monolingual courses. he is given two extra years to complete his primary education by primary eight. after the psle, pupils are again streamed in secondary one to either special, express or normal course. by the end of secondary two, they begin to specialise in subjects of study in that they have the option of being in the science, commerce, technical or arts stream. this kind of specialistaion becomes more defined in post-secondary and tertiary education.
section three
e partly due to history and partly to modern exigencies, english has become the working language of singapore. hence in schools, english is the medium of instruction. however, a child may learn his mother-tongue
in school. this language may be eigher chinese, malay or tamil with respect to the four main ethnic groups in singapore. this would give our children a cultural ballast and ground them in their cultural roots.
hence a bilingual education will strengthen a pupil’s sense of identity as well as provide him with the facility
to handle international communications.
section four
f the first three years of primary education emphasise the learning of language so as to provide pupils with a strong foundation for understanding what is taught in later stages of primary education. about fifty percent of curriculum time is used for language learning at the primary level. other core subjects are taught to provide children with the necessary knowledge and skills to live and work in a modern society. another important subject taught at primary school level is moral education. this programme aims to inculcate in pupils sound moral values and civic-consciousness.
g recent trends in education have begun to emphasise aesthetics. while music and art and handicarft have always been a part of the primary school curriculum, there are better developed programmes now to teach literature and drama in secondary schools and junior colleges. there are also special art and music elective
programmes to nurture talents among our students.
