Rethinking priorities in the primary/secondary education system in Singapore.

Abstract

My project seeks to challenge the need to participate in the educational paper chase as a means of achieving success in life. The Singapore education system has won many international accolades for academic excellence, but there is an ever-increasing need to encourage people to chart their learning journeys without being too reliant on results. Sometimes, our definitions of success can come from the trials overcome and connections made in the journey itself instead of the material rewards we work to achieve in the end.
