A SYSTEM OF EDUCATION FOR ALL
Additionally, Mr. Wong addressed the importance of the educational system’s big reset and the attitudes of parents in particular.
While Singapore’s training program is , among the best in the world, Mr Wong acknowledged that it is also economical and can lead to anxiety and stress. Families, in wanting their kids to have a great head-start, exert pressure on their descendants to work hard and drive their own limitations.
” But too much stress may cause more harm than good. According to him, “it is snuff out the joy of learning early in life,” adding that all families experience these contradictions.
” It ca n’t be resolved through policy alone. We have to maintain this up as a society”, he said.
In order to achieve this, the government has implemented changes to the primary school Leaving Examination ( PSLE ) scoring system and eliminated streaming in secondary schools.
Mr. Wong assured Singaporeans that more will be done to make sure that every school is a good one, including , providing extra tools for schools with more students from underprivileged backgrounds.
The state is even providing subsidies for Taiwanese students in the new , University of the Arts Singapore ,- a , personal university- to the same extent as students in intelligent universities, and giving more attention to young athletes.
” But when we talk about various pathways, we mean it significantly- we are backing these goals with resources, and totally committed to nurturing the different abilities of every Singaporean”, said Mr Wong.
Mr. Wong reaffirmed that the state must collaborate with other organizations to promote better social cohesion and care.
As he recalled how Singaporeans stood united as a whole and supported one another through difficult circumstances during the COVID-19 pandemic, he said that this unwavering spirit will enable the nation to shine “ever more beautifully”.
” We can be a society where everyone can bloom, thrive, and be the best possible version of ourselves”, he said. As we begin this voyage, I ask for your assistance. We have much to do, and a complete agenda forward. Let us meet our arms and souls, and map our fresh way ahead, up”.
Mr. Wong shared an anecdote from his history, stating that while studying in Michigan, the state learned about one of the state’s most well-known ghost towns, known as” Singapore.”
It was founded in the 1830s and became a busy firewood and ship-building community, he said.
No one really knows where its name came from, but it was most likely inspired by a European port in the wild Far East founded in 1819, he continued.
Before it was sucked up by shifting sand dunes, the village lasted for about 50 times. Now just a placard remains as a symbol of its presence, Mr Wong said.
” Singapore in Michigan did n’t last very long. We want Singapore to endure for the next ten years and beyond.
