An example of the benefits of close tripartite co-operation is demonstrated by how Singapore moved from a
purely knowledge-transmission education model to one that emphasised creativity and self-directed learning
(“Thinking Schools, Learning Nation” and “Teach Less, Learn More”). This was advanced through ministry of
Education policy directives, through the regular monthly meetings of cluster superintendents with principals,
and through the frequent professional development opportunities for teachers. The government also funded a
long-term Centre for Research in Pedagogy and Practice at NIE, which examined current teaching practices in
Singapore classrooms, piloted new approaches and fed back the necessary changes to the ministry. Recently,
NIE has revamped its teacher education model to produce teachers who themselves have such 21st century
literacy (Low, 2010) and can create learning environments that enable their students to develop them too.
Changing pedagogy is always difficult, but in Singapore there is much less of a gap than in other countries
between policy and classroom delivery, and between the intended and the actual curriculum.
