By putting its energy into the front end of recruiting high-quality people and giving them good training and continuing support, Singapore doesn’t have the problems of massive attrition and persistently ineffective teachers and principals that plague many systems.
Nevertheless, despite having traveled from a third-world to a first-world country in a single lifetime, and having created an education system that has helped make it a magnet for economic growth in the global economy, Singapore is not resting on its laurels or ignoring its problems. Recognizing that innovation will be the key to its future economic success and that a new mindset and new skills will be needed to encourage innovation, it has developed a new education policy framework. Thinking Schools, Learning Nation has the explicit aim of developing creative, innovative and lifelong learners who can rise to the challenges of a global future where change is the only norm. Accordingly, a committee of the National Institute of Education released a report in 2009, A Teacher Education for the 21st Century, which outlines how teacher training will be redesigned to further strengthen the skills and knowledge of teachers to promote new kinds of learning to meet these goals. Singapore’s education journey continues.
Culture and context matter. Singapore is small and has a more centralized education system, which makes implementing policies easier and there is good communication and shared vision between the Ministry, the National Institute of Education and the schools. But it has accomplished so much with so little in terms of continuous improvement and consistent high performance across schools and the principles they have put in place to develop a high-quality human capacity are applicable elsewhere. Just as Singapore developed its system by examining the best practices of others countries, others can now learn from Singapore.
