Summing up the design features of the secondary education system in Singapore is a little more complex than providing an answer to: “they still do O levels, don’t they?” and taking a view about whether the country’s strong performance in international surveys can be put down to their continuation with a qualification long since dropped in the UK.
Singapore presents a different context to that of the UK in so many ways – there’s the size of population, the size of the country, the number of schools, national values, university pathways and so on. There is also an interesting secondary system which presents a number of routes for young people, providing each with the opportunity to realise their potential and play an active role as a citizen.
