Why is Singapore So Crazy Good in Education

Singapore's transformation into a global education leader is a testament to strategic foresight and an unwavering commitment to human capital development. Despite its humble beginnings and lack of natural resources, Singapore has built one of the most efficient and successful education systems worldwide. Through meticulous planning and long-term policy implementation, including the pivotal role of the National Institute of Education (NIE), Singapore has emphasized quality teacher training and systemic adaptability, fostering a dynamic and responsive education landscape.
Central to Singapore's education success is a meritocratic ethos, underpinned by a competitive yet holistic development framework that values diversity, autonomy, and flexibility in learning. Teachers in Singapore are highly respected and supported, ensuring a high-caliber teaching force. Additionally, bilingual policies and a strong focus on vocational training prepare students for both global competitiveness and local industry needs. This pragmatic approach not only meets Singapore's socio-economic requirements but also sets a global benchmark for educational excellence

They don't mention tuition centres.

I saw two great school systems in the world, in Finland and South Korea. The common thing they did was to look around and adopt the models to their own culture and situation, not to copy something foreign mechanistically. Also, they paid teachers more and gave them real power and authority over students. Imagine going to war with an army where officers are not paid well, soldiers have bad weapons, and corporals are not allowed to yell at grunts!!! That would mean certain defeat.
