Refresh approaches to achieve education
goals
Our Singapore Conversation (OSC)
We face the complex challenges…
from stress, tuition and exams to streaming…
These challenges are complex because there are no easy
answers. There are significant tradeoffs among the multiple
objectives…
We will have to challenge our mindsets, and decide on what
matters most to each of us. We have to go back to the
basics, and ask what we want to see in our children as they
grow up, beyond just academic grades.
- Minister Heng Swee Keat, COS 2013
