3Boys:Tell me also by what measures, the Singapore education system is helpful when at the same time we have our dear leaders openly claim that we need FT to \"pouch above it's (Singapore) weight\" (he quoted and I said). If our education is so perfectly and flawless like what you claimed, why do our leaders still believe that FT is better?Okay,wapobs:
Not perfect, but not bad.....a few special fellas made it,
you say it helps the majority?
wat brand koyok u selling? (I know, it is the only brand on sale here.)
demonstrate to me that it is not you selling koyok.
Tell me by what measure, international or otherwise, that the education system in Singapore has failed the MAJORITY. That it has failed to equip them with the book knowledge to be employable. That it is inferior to other national systems. Please show me the stats to back your assertion.
Tell me also again, if our education system is so great, why than are our jobs replace by FT? Jobs from clerks, sales, stall helpers etc to even teachers and doctors (just go visit the polyclinics). No doubt, our education system has it's strength. But we also need to see the overall package and how it helps our kids in finding a job in the local market.
And finally, it is very encouraging to see a previous EM3 student claiming success. But at the same time, how many more EM3 students did not make the cut or just give up under the current system. The numbers is not surprising.
3boys, I believe you will have no problem showing us the stats, since you will be (as usual) here all day long posting to and fro and researching high and low in the web for stats. By the way, when showing stats, please avoid those from the local ministry. One knows how they like to lump PR and citizen together.
