Singapore education should move beyond focus on grades to a meritocracy of skills
April 18th, 2023 |

I read with deep contemplation The Straits Times report, “Singapore education should move beyond focus on grades to a meritocracy of skills: Chan Chun Sing” (Mar 11).
Foremost, I am glad to learn that Singapore education should move beyond focus on or shift away from grade to a meritocracy of skills and leadership qualities.
Anyway, our education system is moving towards a right direction.
For a few decades, It is not hard for us to notice that our education system: teachers usually impart knowledge and skills of various academic, technical subjects to the students (Besides, they also provide character nurturing, moderating or moulding and basic leadership training).
However, our educators would never teach and guide their students how to apply methods, strategies, approaches or life experience skills out of the textbook to resolve dynamic interpersonal, work and life issues in a complex macro environment.
Anyway, an individual success in terms of career, family and life will in great extent depend upon an individual’s capabilities in social interactions, management of emotions, career, life and health crisis.
I sincerely hope all the employers inclusive of our Government should give more or fair chances for the last two groups of people to manifest their strengths and capabilities during the employment process, rather than displaying cold-shoulder on their unremarkable academic qualification.
Traditionally, the administrative system and public service policies in Singapore have been placing emphasis on meritocracy of academic excellence and skewed towards its top or important appointments upon individuals with academic excellence records and good character.
By right, it has nothing to bug on. But, over the years, we still can detect some flaws in its meritocracy system – over emphasis upon paper qualifications during its recruitment and selection processes.
Simultaneously, it also underlines the utmost importance of pragmatic experience and qualities of leadership for the selection and appointment of top political and administrative leaders.
For examples: -
1)Singapore’s Little India riot in the early hours on Dec 9, 2013.
In the eyes of Singaporeans, it was the sad, disappointing and “mishandling” event. Due to our police force and its responsible commander at then lack of experience, decisiveness, nimbleness and resilience in handling this type of crisis – the sudden, big scale riot at Little India, which had resulted police cars and an ambulance be torched by the rioters.
2)NOL was badly managed by its CEO during the period of Oct 2011 to June 2016
Neptune Orient Lines Limited (NOL) was a Singaporean container shipping company. It was founded in 1968 as Singapore’s national shipping line, but was later sold as a subsidiary to French shipping company CMA CGM in 2016.
French company makes NOL profitable – less than 1 year after acquiring it from S’pore (of $86 million net profit compared with a $100 million loss in the same period of 2016”).
3)According to Yahoo news, Singapore Press Holdings net profit down 19.7% for FY2018 as media business revenue fell. Further, SPH net profit fell 23% in Financial Year 2019, to let go of 5% of media group staff (by The Straits Times). In addition, SPH posts first full year net loss of S$83.7m for FY20 (reported by The Business Times on 13 Oct 2020)
All these misfortune were most likely due to the appointment of wrong or incapable person as its CEO and also attributed to his poor management capability, vision and skills.
Therefore, it is timely for the Ministry of Education and Public Service Division heading towards the right direction and adopting the right approach to get rid of or shift away from its erroneous tendency and particular stress (lopsided emphasis) upon paper qualification as their core recruitment and selection criteria.

You said rightly.
Its a MONKEYING $YSTEM.
NO REAL LEADERSHIP.
And,the *MENTORING* is ineffective.
From HIGH PRODUCTIVITY TO LOW VIA DAFT IMPLEMENTATION OF FT POLICY where FAKE DEGREE HOLDERS from overseas become the beloved FTs even at A*star?
Expect even DUMPING OF FTs into tiny Sg to REPLACE EXISTING SG-PMETs via *SKILLS POLICY*???
SKILLS,HOW TO KNOW UNLESS IMPLEMENT OFFICIAL STANDARD JOB SKILLS PRACTICAL TESTS DURING INTERVIEWS FOR ALL APPLICANTS,SGS with sg degrees OR *SKILLED FTs* with FAKE DEGREES!

I have said here many times that Singaporeans cheat to pass exam using 10 Years Series.
Singaporeans are not true talent but cheater. As such, Singaporeans have no common sense and critical thinking.
Therefore Singaporeans should not be allowed to hold top jobs.
Yes, meritocracy of skills are important and blowing is also a skill.
If you know how to blow well you will do well.. :)

Dont believe the PAPPY, their system never changed for decades, all the top are Ace students, including LW the clown. Their system will cater to scholars only. This part they will never concede.
Dont believe what you said, perhaps it is because massive import of third world inferior qualifications branded as talents vs local grads… where local grads are finding very hard to land jobs while these third world inferior universities and qualifications are landing jobs when coming in as tourists.
Believe they are going to sing a different tune when massive local grads cant find jobs and were told it is based on meritocracy as foreigners although come from inferior background are preferred over locals.

Then the same applies to all foreigners who study here, yes?

Pure talk from the powers to be in the village. For so many years, they didn’t solve the village fertility problem. Though the village chief came out to say they have one of the lowest fertility rates among all other villages, he didn’t say they have the highest village pays among them. How can it still be meritocracy when they get the highest village pays but cannot perform.
It is just basically wrangling works on the village reserves and revenues by that wannabe senior wrangler.
Now comes education, of course they cannot turn away from textbooks. The whole freaking NIE bunch that trains village teachers cannot make it and the village chief doesn’t want to replace them.
Lastly, ask any village public scholarship board which one will put academic achievements as secondary or on par with other directly marketable traits. Pure talk, put millions into grooming low income on simple childhood education is all they (including LW) know how to do, why does the village need idiot chiefs like this.
So many high rank village civil servants delivering rubbish today and these idiot chiefs know nuts or have been sweeping things under the carpet. The village civil service has rotted to the core now, and everyday most of the work is paper and electronic shuffling.
No drastic actions to turn away from academic focus and no results.
Ask each chief to each throw a couple of millions for the low income population for actionable culture development, and good chance of a significant reversal if well executed.
Otherwise, just pure talk from idiots again.
Tech: If the top experts really come up with any bright ideas to increase the TFR, then I suggest the party mandate Polyamory like how MTF mandated the C19 like that lor. lol

The more this lhl’s runner run his mouth, one can see even clearer the little water he has.
He probably knows he has a very unlikeable personality as the general public see him.
It’ll be hard for him to change this perception, in fact, he has successfully push more people into his ‘dislike’ basket.
But we know that lhl had always get what he wants, he is still in the work of him be his successor.
LW can only survive if he can get majority of Singaporeans on his side.
This, LW has not being doing that great so far.
So LW is still standing at the edge of the cliff. Not good.
Tech: A good choice of word here, “runner”. Lawrence has been said to be himself man, with character and ideas of his own. BUT as long as the Supremo remains in Parliament, Lawrence will always be a ‘runner’ carrying out the Supremo’s orders. lol

Any sane government will not allow itself to be held hostage by its citizens demand of more perks and privilege for them to have more children.
Just like Singaporeans will not allow themselves to be held hostage by Grab/Taxi peak hour daylight robbery high charges by taking the train.
Our great PAP is doing a great job letting in smarter FT to solve our low TFR.
TRE Techie suggestion of polygamy is good and Singaporean ORD male should be allowed to marry 2 or more Ukrainian women as they stupidly sent their Ukrainian men to be canon fodder for Americunt.
Facts#:
We paid only 66 billion for Ukrainians to die for US interests in the war with Russia. US’ $66 billion investment in Ukraine is well worth it.
https://bit.ly/3DlJeEb

Tech: Err… marrying 2 wives is NOT polyamory strictly speaking. Polyamory means married couples share their partners and love/sex for other couples, (not the same as swinging with only sex). Can also consider encouraging swinging and rewarding hotwives with chicken wings and tax deductions, if polyamory fails. lol

TRE, cannot lah. After the half past six engagements by that law chief with the village public, that village chief spread half baked fake news that they kept the institution of marriage when they repealed that Act. Of course it’s not true because with that Act repealed, recruitment drives already stepping up in army camps and schools. Some more the way he claimed was as if they have locked in an achievement.
Meanwhile, don’t be surprised that army camps are fertile grounds for you-know-what with the repeal. There is no such thing as turning a blind eye to those type of drives and yet being able to boost TFR. Once an idiot, forever an idiot. Once an idiot chief, forever an idiot chief. Forever.

Go google la , SH ,, then you’ll know.
Didn’t our leader of opposition ask for foreigners to pass English test before get pink card? This one ppluck from thin air hor?
Why did he say that? Because the china folks do not speak or understand english. Always going around ask if people speak mandarin.
China folks too LAZY to learn English and make use of locals to translate. If they are as any good or talented as some claim, then learning English should be a breeze.
You can go google this Malay woman who scold NTUC Chinese girl for noy being able to speak English and cut her fish anyhow.
It seems like we have to import FTs for the sake of importing FTs. And pretend they are true talents when they are not.

We should embrace lifelong learning.
Anyway many of us will need to learn new skills to survive as technology such as AI Autochat will be upon us soon,impacting everybody and jobs.
Many of the knowledge we obtain in Schools will be less important as such knowledge can be easily search by AI tools like ChatGPT etc
More important is how to search and ask the right questions (prompt engineering)to solve everyday tasks more productively.

This is the reason why Singaporeans cannot get job or are replaced by FT.
Singaporeans are lazy and unmotivated to even get their acts together and they expect to be successful in life.

Our great PAP Minister Josephine Teo had already replied.
Oppositions are always opposing for the sake of opposing, never go deeper to think that their grandparents are also always asking people to translate.
I once met an old lady in City Hall asking me how to go Long Chiam Pak.
I told her no such station but she insisted that there is such station Long Chiam Pak.
Later I ask her, why you want go Long Chiam Pak and she said she need to see doctor and she told me there are many many doctors there and many department.
Hahaha.. it then dawn on me that this old lady want to go Outram Park station to visit SGH and I gladly show her the train take.
Long Chiam Pak? Outram Park ..

Christian must proudly tell everyone that Christian pledge their Allegiance to Jesus only for he is the ONLY absolute Supreme one and Jesus will not tolerate human allegiances that don’t put him first — to be loved above all other values, and to be followed above all other authorities.(e.g. your President, commander etc)

He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me.

Have you seen The Pope’s Exorcist? Now showing in cinemas.
There was a very interesting point the movie raised. Every thing man does is recorded by angels and demons. Because one of the priests tried to exorcise the demon from the boy, the demon mentioned all his deepest secrets. The demon called him a panty sniffer.
Also the movie explained that trauma is the gateway for demons to possess someone.

It’s way too easy to talk about righteousness.
I once had a Christian boss like that. Always quote bible to bash the young staff, make personal attacks and character assassination. Always very self righteous. Got loose lips and is a terrible gossip.shes the worst boss I ever had. Other bosses do not involve religion or make personal attacks. I think she’s not very educated in terms of separating personal and professional matters.
She can claim to be most holy but her actions are of the devil.
What a hypocrite. Even Satan might feel threatened.
Anybody can attend church and claim to be a good Christian man or woman. Attending church gives the impression that one is a good person.

You said opposition oppose for the sake of opposing – not true. They have stated their grounds in parliament.
You say democracy like those Hong Koing Protesters. Not true. Singapore don’t have, many other western countries which are true democracies, people can say publicly if they are satisfied with govt.
loading...
Actually I agree with you on these religious leaders.
They, like the christian boss (who is a wick*d witch) I mentioned have to put up false fronts. Because they cannot be caught for ANY mistake. Frankly, it is rather tiring and stressful. One day their facade will crumble to the ground.
There are also people who appear righteous on the surface but lead a life of sin and depravity in secret. Like I said, Angels and demons keepp records. When the time is right or rather when their time is up…
But this isn’t just about sexual immorality. Churches take great delight in reading passages about Sodom to stir shit against LGBTs. And of course capture the rapt attention of the congregation who secretly enjoy reading about lust.
It is also about unrighteous, the wick*d,, that Sodom and Gomorah burned to the ground. Of course churches likes to focus on men pleasuring other men.
You know how chirches are. Some LGBTs complained that they were driven out of churches. You do like that embarass and hurt people’s feelings. Make them hate God. They could have used a more sensitive approach, counsel in private . That’s why I say churches drive more people away than winning souls for Jesus.

And you talk rubbish too by sheepishly repeating what the Americunt said: Liberty rule of law?

The United States Couldn’t Stop Being Stupid if It Wanted To

Extract from the article:
For this reason, liberal states are strongly inclined to what John Mearsheimer terms the “crusader impulse”—the desire to spread liberal principles as far as their power permits. The same problem bedevils other universalist ideologies, ……
You are brainwashed by Anglo Saxon news to think along their line/way.
the TRUTH about the Americunt, which is the same BULL SHIT as China past Emperor and current CCP is expansionist:
Manifest Destiny

The copy and paste from the bible to support a comment is an example of total ignorance of the teachings of Christ which is spiritual. It is to teach us that there is no permanent relationships and physical attachments will cause us pain.Christ teachings are to free us from the chains that mankind wants to lock us in. Our allegiance has to be to our creator and not to any man or woman on earth.

You quote US rubbish as the truth. Sucker.

Christians try to explain their bible based on Buddhist ideas. “Left-home” monks was the practice for hundreds of year before Christians appeared.

@Copy and paste
Does it matter if it was practised 100 or even 1000 years earlier. Our callings are at a different time. Isn’t Buddhism an offshoot of Hinduism? There is no need to argue about spirituality.

Teaching kids to code at a young age helps their cognitive development and problem-solving skills.
With the right tools and resources, children can learn the basics of coding such as logic, problem-solving, and creativity.
Schools should by now offer coding classes as part of their curriculum or as extracurricular activities.
Starting to learn how to code at a young age can also help children become more confident with technology, which can benefit them in their future careers.
Are our students still far behind in embracing coding as an enrichment subject?

Religious zealots always lies and lies by telling half truth.
They will tell you the fairy tales of the good nice things.(first half truth)
But they will hide, and will NEVER tell you the 2nd half truth that they are actually practicing. (Communism)
Here is the 2nd half of the truth they are practicing.
Bush: Either you are with us or against us (CCP?)

This is correct.
Coding is the future.
And Coding can also be a means to break poverty cycle.

This is a good point albeit schools are not designed to prepare one for the future that has yet to arrive. Our education is designed to identify the `scholars` who will run the administrative elite. That`s we have PSLE, O – and A-levels exams. They are a filtering process to do this. Otherwise, we would have designed our own exams instead of sticking to the UCLES examination papers, papers which our own teachers do not mark but are packed in an airplane and sent over to London for other teacher-examiners to mark.
We speak of meritocracy for show. How HaLEEmah became president without any meritocratic contest show unequivocally how our implementation is fake. Meritocracy is the opium for the Sinkies. In reality, there is no meritocracy. Our taxpayers are paying for PRCs free of charge to study at NTU and our National Institute of Education. Sinkies` taxes pay for these Chinese PRCs postgraduate diploma (2 years), Masters (2 years) and PhD (4 years). They get free tuition and on top of that stipends. Sinkies` taxes pay them $2000 for pocket money each month while they study for free using our tax monies which Sinkies pay. What do Sinkies get? Sinkies don`t get to easily study postgraduate studies. They don`t get $2000 stipend but Sinkies attend night classes at NTU and work in the day time to pay taxes for his/her PRC classmates to study for free. That`s Singapore. How a PRC can get Sinkies` tax money to study postgraduate studies in English from a thrid world China country where English is not spoken is clearly bias. Singaporeans are short-changed and blindsided by Pappies. Sinkies study English as a first language but opportunities and his tax monies are used to endorse, enable and support foreigners. That`s unbelievably fatuous and stupid as we should prioritise and enable our own people. The opportunity cost to continue to enable Pappies` policies at marginalising and blindsiding Singaporeans has to stop. Because today`s young Sinkies can see the bias, marginalisation and lack of equal opportunities in his own land. When 40% of the chronic crowded island is socked with foreigners, what`s the point of serving NS anymore? Who are we protect? 40% foreigners who continue to short-change Sinkies and rob Sinkies` of equal opportunities. Policies that pay for PRCs and India Indians education at our universities must stop. For every foreigner we let into our universities for free with our tax money, one more Singaporean child will not access university education. And it is stupid that a Singaporean parent sends his/her child to Australia and pay out of pocket and still pay taxes to finance these PRCs at our universities for free. Sinkies are blindsided.

BS.
He said no mid year exams but schools still have mini exams is he aware.
SG will never move beyond grades. Still lots of rote learning and testing the whole year round.
Countries like Australia are not obsessed with grades unlike our scholar MOE admin and Ministers.
Theirs lousy? Then why thousands of foreign students are pouring into Australia?
We need a complete change of mindset not just politically correct talk and BS.
