  • Singapore: Rapid Improvement Followed by Strong Performance
    7 Singapore: Rapid Improvement Followed by Strong Performance Singapore is one of Asia’s great success stories, transforming itself from a developing country to a modern industrial economy in one generation. During the last decade, Singapore’s education system has remained consistently at or near the top of most major world education ranking systems. This chapter examines how this “tiny red dot” on the map has achieved and sustained so much, so quickly. From Singapore’s beginning, education has been seen as central to building both the economy and the nation. The objective was to serve as the engine of human capital to drive economic growth. The ability of the government to successfully match supply with demand of education and skills is a major source of Singapore’s competitive advantage. Other elements in its success include a clear vision and belief in the centrality of education for students and the nation; persistent political leadership and alignment between policy and practice; a focus on building teacher and leadership capacity to deliver reforms at the school level; ambitious standards and assessments; and a culture of continuous improvement and future orientation that benchmarks educational practices against the best in the world. Strong PerformerS and SucceSSful reformerS in education: leSSonS from PiSa for the united StateS © OECD 2010 159 7 Singapore: rapid improvement Followed by Strong perFormance introduction When Singapore became independent in 1965, it was a poor, small (about 700 km2), tropical island with few natural resources, little fresh water, rapid population growth, substandard housing and recurring conflict among the ethnic and religious groups that made up its population.

    United Nations CRC/C/SGP/4-5 Convention on the Distr.: General Rights of the Child 3 November 2017 Original: English Committee on the Rights of the Child Consideration of reports submitted by States parties under Article 44 of the Convention Fourth and fifth periodic reports of States parties due in 2017 Singapore 1 FOREWORD Every child is precious, and deserves to grow up in a safe and loving environment. Singapore is committed to protecting and promoting the wellbeing of our children. Since our independence in 1965, Singapore has continually refined its policies to better meet the needs of our children. We are pleased to report our efforts since the last report in 2009. Singapore has strengthened legislation, systems and policies to improve protection for our children. We amended three pieces of legislation to do so: the Children and Young Persons Act to enhance the welfare and care of children, and the Women’s Charter and the Administration of Muslim Law Act to better support children from divorced families. In 2014, Singapore also established the Family Justice Courts, which takes the best interests of the child into account in familial disputes. We have increased our support for families with young children. We enhanced the Child Development Co-Savings Act in 2016 to provide more financial support for child-raising and improve leave schemes to enable working parents to manage both work and family responsibilities. We also provided assurance to parents with young children on the accessibility, affordability and quality of early childhood services. These measures reflect the commitment of the Singapore Government to give every child a good start in life, regardless of their background.

  • Considering Madrasah Education for Your Child?
    MADRASAH EDUCATION Nurturing Tomorrow’s Religious Leaders Considering Madrasah Education for Your Child? As your child enters the age eligible for primary school in the coming year, you may have started thinking about the educational pathway which you may want for your child. For Muslim parents, madrasah education may be a possible option besides enrolling into an MOE national primary school. This booklet serves to provide key information on madrasah education to help parents who wish to enrol their child in the madrasah make an informed decision on their child’s educational journey based on the child’s needs. While madrasah education offers the kind of Islamic learning environment which most Muslim parents would prefer, the demands of the curriculum and the educational pathways may not necessarily suit the child. Thus, it is important to consider the various factors before making the decision to choose madrasah education for your child. CONTENTS Preserving our Islamic Legacy & Heritage 04 Faith-inspired & Values-centred Education 05 Foundational Development of Future Religious Leaders 07 Choosing the Right Madrasah 11 Financing Your Child’s Schooling 12 Parents and Madrasahs as Partners 14 Registering Your Child for Primary 1 14 Preserving our Islamic Legacy & Heritage Madrasahs are full-time Islamic religious schools with the aim of developing religious scholars, leaders and educators for the Singapore Muslim community. Madrasahs in Singapore have been in existence since early in the 20th century, and have a long illustrious history. Madrasahs are key institutions which have contributed in preserving the Islamic legacy and heritage of the Singapore Muslim community. Successive generations of religious scholars, leaders and educators were graduates of our madrasahs who had imparted knowledge and tradition, built Islamic institutions and inculcated moral values in the community.
