  • 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.

  • PRESS RELEASE Guangzhou Knowledge City Launches
    PRESS RELEASE Guangzhou Knowledge City Launches “Software” Collaboration Initiative with Singapore 30 June 2011 – Singbridge International Singapore Pte Ltd (Singbridge), and its joint venture partner Guangzhou Development District (GDD), have launched a “software” collaboration initiative with Singapore in the development of the Sino- Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (Guangzhou Knowledge City). The joint venture is the master developer of the 123 sq km Guangzhou Knowledge City. Singbridge manages this software collaboration with the various participating Singapore organizations and government agencies. “Software” refers to the policies, processes and methods to plan, develop and manage a city including urban design, environment, infrastructure, economic and social development. At today’s ceremony, 4 software training and 5 software co-operation projects were launched. More training and co-operation projects will be introduced to meet the development needs of the Guangzhou Knowledge City. The Guangzhou Knowledge City can tap on Singapore’s successful development experience through this software collaboration initiative. Mr Lui Tuck Yew, Singapore’s Minister for Transport and Second Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Co-Chairman of the Singapore-Guangdong Collaboration Council, officiated the launch ceremony together with other dignitaries from Singapore and Guangdong. Said Minister Lui, “I believe software will be a key driver to achieve the Guangzhou Knowledge City’s vision of becoming a vibrant, unique and world class city that is highly attractive to knowledge-intensive enterprises, talent and skilled personnel. The right software will differentiate the Knowledge City from others around the world. It is therefore important to integrate the best of Chinese, Singapore and world software and adapt them to meet the evolving needs of the Knowledge City.” Mr Ko Kheng Hwa, CEO of Singbridge, added “Software is hard to implement.

Using data gathered from in-depth interviews conducted with Singaporean undergraduates study- ing at Oxbridge and a dataset of the institutional origins of 580 Singap- orean government scholars, the analysis illustrates how students are being matched from two Singaporean junior colleges to Oxbridge and back to the higher strata of the Singaporean Public Service.
