What i am trying to bring across is do not alway take education as
a venue to create inventor or genius, instead take education as
part of a longlife education that in primary, teaches one to
be good and secondary, to be knowledgeable.
However these thread is advocating that education should be
change to create inventor or top business pples, which is
ultimately wrong, 10 bosses out of singapore, 7 are not
graduates
There is a weakness in education system..The
current education does not
really gives people "space" to find out
,"to think" and to pursue one's interest. Singaporean
are expected to follow a standard guideline and
somehow misleading into believing to achieve "this
particular theology set up the government". We all born
free, with different personality inclination. The
environment that i find in singapore is rather
restrictive, it does not encourage people
to discover who they are and either do most of
us find people being encouraging when we try to be
different; to help nuture the talent within all of us and
make it all possible.
In a way, education brainwashs people. The government use
this media intending to imput certain views into unsuspected
people. I don't think it is all bad. If you teach good things,
there could be great but our government isn't really doing so.
And yes, i do agreed that world-class education
should teach educated people about having social
responsibility and basic values. I could advocate people to
think for themselves about what is good and what is
bad.. and to do it.
