The PAP only has a part in the successes.
the pm is correct in saying that sinkie students can fully rely on the excellent public school system for both basic and additional learning if and when the requirement arises. no where did he say private tuition should be avoided, but he expressed that excessive private tuition is unnecessary as the public system should be capable of addressing the extra learning needs. as a beneficiary of special private tuition since childhood, it's not his fault for being subjected to excessive tuition as it was not his choosing, including the decade of mentorship by senior ministers imposed upon him. nonetheless, private tuition is necessary for some sinkie nincompoops as they couldn't grasp the simple message being communicated. 
:p 
:p 
His father must be a very bad tuition teacher, because the student is so bad. hence he must have been a bad PM himself.
The fault with the education system lies on many levels. On one level, you have the teachers whose bonuses and kpi are tied to the performance of their classes. hence they push and push more homework to be done by the students to ensure their classes pass and pass well and hence they can collect their bonuses.
On another level, the govt. for many years only allowed one university, NUS, and treated the bachelor degree as an elitist degree. This made many parents push their kids to try and get into uni, not knowing that only 5% of any cohort can get entrance to NUS. In other Asian Tiger economies, the rate is more like 30%.
What the teachers should really do is be honest with their students. Tell them the truth. Which is:
Even though you study and sacrifice like crazy during your primary, secondary, and pre-U, u have no guarantee of a uni sport. Simply because 25% of uni seats are reserved for FT students on scholarships. And if you manage to get to a uni, odds are that u will not get the faculty u want simply due to the allotment in that faculty given to FT students. And after you graduate from uni, your chances of getting a good paying job is not as high as your parents because the PAP lets in cheap FT to compete with u for salary, and many MNCs and local companies are biased against hiring singaporeans.
If you explain all this to the students, than u can leave it up to them as to whether they want to study so hard or not.
Yes, he love the education system so much that he himself went to another country for his education and so did all his kids.
I am waiting for his book. "The Idiot's Guide to Running a Country".
Page 1, line one, "First, you must find a father who is already a Prime Minister and a lover of nepotism".
next NDP, he tells you 5k...then u how?
One of the KPIs that killed learning and the teacher's enthusiasm to teach must surely be the KPI to finish yr syllabus, come hell or high water. If as a teacher, you adjust to the slower ones, then you cant finish. But for learning outcome, by being slower and more painstaking, you are actually a better teacher. To yr bosses and MOE, that's a no-no. Thats why despite all the talking cock, nothing is improved. Teachers become disillusioned, students suffered.
I have read one blog from a ex teacher, she says that if you want promotion. You better concentrate more on CCA activity and do school projects. If you do well in both, your star shines brightly even if you don't do your most basic duty of all, that is to teach your kids. Poor students, they just have to depend on tuition teachers to teach them to pass the exam as you have no time to cover your syllabus in detail.
The most damaging part is that when teachers does not import core values as they are in the rush to finish their syllabus. Knowledge is one part of holistic education. But they just ignore the value part. The value of hardwork , thriftyness, honesty and importance to be upright.
In the end, the teacher was told. If she wants only to teach only, she can jolly well and become a tuition teacher.
There are no positives in Singapore society. All Singapore's positives come from the country's astute leadership. The PAP has made Singapore a success despite the poor quality of Singapore society dragging the country down on numerous occasions.
PAP just sit down and take money, do nothing lah? Thank you for confirming our observations.
You contradict yourself lah. Since you say PAP so very good ah ...then sinkee must be smart lah to vote for PAP. Isn't that a positive trait of sinkees?
Teach these students to rebel against the establishment!
