Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has said that education is vital to Singapore’s future and the education system here has been designed to bring out the best in each student.
Mr Lee said that no one in Singapore should be put off from pursuing education due to cost.
Additionally, in recent years, the education system here has made big steps to cater to mixed abilities. Secondary schools are moving away from streaming, which will be replaced by full subject-based banding by 2024. Moves like these reflect how students here are not forced to fit into the same academic mould.
Mr Lee also noted that the Government will continue to give support to students and make sure the education system in Singapore is affordable and of high quality.
