It can be said to be a major reform period for the education system in the past few years.The Ministry of Education continued to launch several measures this year, including further expanding the compilation of the subject of the middle school subject, so that about 80 % of the middle schools will implement this system next year, replacing the fast and ordinary source flow diversion system; adjust the scoring method and the scoring method and enrollment of local universitiesAbolishment of the middle of the year; increasing the lifelong university reading rate of the same year, reaching 60 % in 2025.
These reforms have different motivations, and some are to correct the disadvantages that have been implemented in the past after many years.Cooperate with the social and economic needs of the new era.
There is no doubt that the original intention of the reform is to achieve better results. For example, if the rate of failure is reduced, students can learn according to their respective learning progress.In the past primary and middle schools, the diversion systems were used.But in the process of implementation, sometimes the adverse consequences have unexpected adverse consequences.For example, premature diversion (Primary Three and Primary 4th) will cause some students to have a rebellious psychology and do not learn.Students with different sources have also been attached to discrimination labels.
As for the test system, there are also many disadvantages. The most serious is the so -called "one test for life", especially in the Sixth stage.There is no doubt that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were more porridge and less resources and limited resources. The test system played a certain screening role, so that the society can use limited resources to cultivate a few "elites" needed by the country;Meritocracy.However, such a system also wasted a large number of eliminated human resources.
Over time, these practices must be adjusted appropriately.The only talent has led to the appearance of the elite class and the weakening of social liquidity, and the reform is indispensable.The test system caused fierce score competition. Parents all looked at the dragon, and they looked at the daughter to become a phoenix.
As a senior educator once pointed out in the past, this not only created a huge tuition industry, but the school and students also spent a lot of time on the examination of the exam. Over time, reading is the test of our educational goals.Lost as our characteristics.This not only suppresss the students' personality development, but also buried the diversity and talent of many people.
With the maturity of the economy and the phenomenon of declining childization, we need to be more and more of all kinds of talents. Therefore, human resources must be fully cultivated and utilized.There are currently as many as six public universities in Singapore, and there are many colleges and technical education colleges to provide students with broad and diverse opportunities and ways to advance in education.One is that the country has more resources, and the other is economic development and transformation, and more trained talents are needed.The overall result is to do their best.
But from the experience of educational reform in the past few decades, each reform has both positive results and side effects.Therefore, the newly launched various reform measures cannot be flawless. The main intention is to reduce the pressure of students, remove diversion discrimination, allow students to play the director, and at the same time promote the communication between students of different family backgrounds and social class students, and reduce differentiation.What is the actual effect is to be proved by time.
In terms of reducing pressure, as long as the test system is still there, students and parents are still difficult to get rid of the mentality of scoreism; only the mentality changes can the education reform be really effective.
Objectively speaking, the improvement of the education system can only be a process of gradual and even trial and error, but the so -called changes are inseparable from its ancestors. Education is always based on tree people. Because everyone is inherently qualified, they must be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be ableTeach according to their aptitude.In addition, the tree people are not only instilling knowledge and training skills, but the ideal practice is to take care of virtue, wisdom, physical, group, and beauty. I hope that Singapore's education system can continue to move towards such an ideal goal.
