students are allow to explore their own interest whether in

etc etc. All these are unheard of in Singapore where you just
follows what's given to you.
You strictly adheres to the rules or they failed you for
incompliance.
What we need is an open mindset and a willingness to learn. Real
education does not simply mean being able to solve your math or
getting your first class degree by hard reading, but the
ability to accommodate and integrate oneself into the real society
when the needs or situation warrants.
Its not a career determinant or even a measure of potential.
Yeah, that's why I said that your complain is irrelevant.
Singapore society does not demand someone who is going to win a
nobel prize, it demands someone who can do calculations and
maintanance for those foreign companies.
