  • The Loss of The'world-Soul'? Education, Culture and the Making
    The Loss of the ‘World-Soul’? Education, Culture and the Making of the Singapore Developmental State, 1955 – 2004 by Yeow Tong Chia A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Yeow Tong Chia 2011 The Loss of the ‘World-Soul’? Education, Culture and the Making of the Singapore Developmental State, 1955 – 2004 Yeow Tong Chia Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2011 Abstract This dissertation examines the role of education in the formation of the Singapore developmental state, through a historical study of education for citizenship in Singapore (1955-2004), in which I explore the interconnections between changes in history, civics and social studies curricula, and the politics of nation-building. Building on existing scholarship on education and state formation, the dissertation goes beyond the conventional notion of seeing education as providing the skilled workforce for the economy, to mapping out cultural and ideological dimensions of the role of education in the developmental state. The story of state formation through citizenship education in Singapore is essentially the history of how Singapore’s developmental state managed crises (imagined, real or engineered), and how changes in history, civics and social studies curricula, served to legitimize the state, through educating and moulding the desired “good citizen” in the interest of nation building. Underpinning these changes has been the state’s use of cultural constructs such as ii Confucianism and Asian values to shore up its legitimacy.

This paper discusses the language policy for Chinese Language or 9 Mandarin in Singapore, with a particular focus on recent policy changes and the 10 accompanying policy statements. The paper identifies and explores three key features 11 in the recent language policy changes: a flexible and customized approach in the 12 teaching and learning of Chinese, a plan to nurture a core groupPROO of bicultural elite, 13 and the emphasis on oral communication and reading for the majority of students. 14 The paper argues that underlying the changes is the affirmation and continuation of 15 the government’s pragmatic approach in language policy and commitment to 16 bilingualism in Singapore.

  • Questioning Meritocracy in Singapore

Since independence, Singapore has been in Singapore dominated by one political party, the People’s Action Party (PAP). Singapore’s ofcial history is a product of Nur Elysa Sapari the PAP government’s national construction project.

This belief that the brightest perform the best permeates into our world-class education system as well, one that constantly places at the top in overall PISA scores (The Economist, 2018). Singapore's Ministry of Education (MOE) has expressed commitment in ensuring all students get equal opportunities to succeed in the system, from the very start of students’ education journey in kindergarten (MOE, 2017). However, a growing class divide has raised questions on whether all Singaporeans have equal chances to succeed in the current system (Channel NewsAsia (CNA), 2019). Much like the Matthew Principle where the haves will have even more and the have-nots will have even less, the affluent appear to be increasingly going to more ‘elite’ schools, while the less affluent go to so-called regular ‘neighbourhood’ schools, fostering a sense of elitism (CNA, 2019).

From a public health perspective, the most powerful levers for influencing population health lie in interventions that make healthy living convenient and an unconscious choice by targeting the social and environmental context. Recogniz- ing this, the Health Promotion Board has in recent years made a strategic shift away from just public education campaigns aimed at individual behaviours, to focus on creating a ground-up social movement to enable and empower individ- uals to live out a healthy lifestyle.

  • Educational Inequality in the Singaporean Primary School Choice System
    1 Structure-reinforced privilege: Educational inequality in the Singaporean primary school choice system Mira Debs and Hoi Shan Cheung Abstract Prior research on school choice as a global educational policy has emphasized how parents use their privileges to gain advantages. In contrast, we use the theoretical framework of structure- reinforced privilege to highlight how parental advantage can be compounded by complex choice structures, both the number of choices and the complicated selection criteria. We focus on a case study of Singapore’s primary school registration process which has not been previously examined in the academic literature. Using a discourse analysis of newspaper coverage and a Singaporean website for parents, we demonstrate that the primary enrollment system creates confusion among parents, and ultimately allows privileged parents to gain an admissions advantage in perceived elite schools. Numerous admission preferences, while initially intended to strengthen family-school ties, rewards those with resources, furthering the perception and reality of economic inequality. We close with recommendations to simplify school choice systems giving priority to families with limited resources. Key words: Parents, school choice, parent involvement, education policy, segregation, inequality, Singapore 2 Introduction In the last twenty years, school choice has been expanding as a global educational policy (Adamson, Åstrand and Darling-Hammond 2016, Forsey, Davis and Walford 2008). Choosing schools has been promoted as the solution to increasing student achievement, offering educational individualization, introducing competition into the public sector and providing greater access for poor students to quality schools (Chubb and Moe 2011, Dronkers and Robert 2008, Salman 2010, Wu, 2020). Yet this shift from education as a right to a consumer good has shifted the relationship between parents, schools and states (Proctor et al.
