In Singapore the education system creates lots of stress, for students, teachers and even parents.
So much so the joy of learning and discovery is lost on students. Teaching even becomes a chore for many because they cannot get other jobs they want.
And despite all the stress and heavy load, does the output of our education system produces world class engineers, scientists, entrepeneurs or products that command the world market?
Any Singapore equivalent of the Nokia brand, Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg?
