This week has come and gone very quickly, it was filled with test and assignment. The horrible Chemistry lecturer gave us only 25 mins for a test that will have lasted 40 mins.
I will have to submit my Preliminary Idea for PW next week.
A levels School-Based Practical Assesment (SPA) will commence the following week.
The Singapore education system is one that train top talents. However, an over emphasis on efficency and rigidness has led to students and teachers behaving like robots living a monotonous lifestyle.
Students are highly encouraged to embark on rote learning and to rember textbooks, failure to churn out the required information will lead them to be labelled as failure. This has led to many students going through this rigourous education without having a creative mind of their own.
Isn't this similar to China and India's practice of producing millions of engineers using this giant ''brain factory''. Are these skilled workers euipped with the necessary skills to lead their country in the future?
In addition to the NUS High School of Maths and Sciences, Shouldn't the government set up a Specialised School for the Humanities and the Arts. We need creative people for the betterment of our future not just economically valuable engineers and technician.
