If you are the Education Minister...
-
How would you improve the current system?
-
More sex education for Singaporeans, "When to give birth when neccessary and when not to give accidental births that'll make you a liability for your family, community and your nation."
-
keep back the old tradition education system n improve awareness in moral education.
i will make sure i will not screw up the SES like the current indian minister who change the system n treated students like guinea pigs every now n then.

If it's really some old systems... then I don't know.
But the streaming one... I'm against it. How many of these top students really know what they have studied? In a knowledge economy, the ability to regurgitate out everything is not an issue, but able to apply them is.
Haizz... don't try how we know a system works? RP students are guinea pigs too.
I wouldn't say PBL will work for all. If they are independent learners, then not a problem. If they aren't, then no point forcing... -
yes! i believe normal stream students do not want to mix wif those students who given them little breath to cope wif their studies.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:With streaming and all?

wat i meant is the more change in the system, it will make it worse than before.
in my time, there is no such thing as normal tech or normal academic, or em1 2 or 3. the way they implemented it n discarded it have proven dat they r being incapable for their decision. -
If I am the Education Minister, I'll solve the "JC-eligible student going to Poly" Problem.
I think this person got alot to comment on your topic..

Now there's no EM1, 2 or 3, I wonder if is it better now? Haven't heard of any news yet... hopefully it's good news. -
if i am a minister, i will give benefit to poly students by paying the same bus fare like those jc students. BUT the drawback is... these poly students MUST wear proper sch uniform to campus.
this is to ensure that poorer students do not have to stand the pressure of others wearing brand clothes to school n will give better image to our students. -
yeah, then it will ever made us wonder why implement it in the 1st place?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Oh...

same goes to SAT1, imagine last time many poly students had to waste 80 over bucks to take this examination in order to go to uni... only to find out dat they discarded the rule in the end. -
$*#& all that..
i'd make sure the fricken parents are educated first... first time parents of children aged 3 must be made to go learn their own responsibilities and what the bloody education system is not responsible for..
- like the morality of their children
- that schools are not to blame if their children 'go bad'
- that after school hours, the parents are the responsible party
- that the schools are not child-care centres
stuff like that.. -

failure to do so will disqualify their children to be barred from examination! -
to whom?
you??
sheesh.. the main aim is to make the parents responsible for their own children...
personal responsibility.. something which a lot of people seem to lack these days, don't you think?Originally posted by 798:how bout parents MUST submit a bi-monthly report on the progress of the lifestyle for their child?

What about university students?Originally posted by 798:if i am a minister, i will give benefit to poly students by paying the same bus fare like those jc students. BUT the drawback is... these poly students MUST wear proper sch uniform to campus.

Uniforms for poly students... sounds good. But nobody seems to be wearing uniforms properly.

First thing I would do is to get schools to instill discipline in students. I've seen far too many male students with long hair gelled upwards trying to look like some superstar but ending up looking like fUck.......... Many also tuck out their shirts trying to look rugged but again ending up looking sloppy. I can say nothing if they are wearing their home clothes but it is the school uniform they are wearing and abusing! Gone is the honour, pride and respect in being in a uniform. And school authorities are doing absolutely nothing!
While it is understandable that students at this age are only experimenting and mean no harm, failure to enforce discipline will encourage more students to spend more on visiting professional hair salons and hair assessories to compete to see who is most hip (or should I say shIt?) Students from less well-off families may feel more pressurised.
Secondly, I will scrap all uniform-group ccas as I doubt students learnt anything from joining them. Instead, all secondary school students will be required to perform community service as by volunteering at various charities and social services centres. Fund collection as by selling flags will not be deemed as community service. Community service will only be considered as such if it is performed by students on site and hands-on at the social service centres.
This way, tudents actually see for themselves social issues and learn to care genuinely about the society they live in. This will more effectively inculcate in students care and concernfor the less fortunate.
I could go on and on but the bottom-line is I ain't a student no more and, more importantly, ain't the Education Minister and so ain't no business of mine.....! -
I will abolished the school ranking system, this way there is no difference between RGS and SMSS
-
screw that... uniforms suck..
teach the children well in the beginning and there will be no problems with whatever later..
and it starts again.. with the parents!Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:What about university students?

i think the stupidity of the schools these days is that they spend their efforts on trivial crap like long hair, and all that nonsense when they should be concentrating on EDUCATION..
all the idiot schools are pushing and advertising "we won the People De-eloper Award" "we won the Service Quantity Award" "we won the Braindead Students Award"
who the fuck cares about these bloody awards??
the school is there to educate the students... the students are not a means to win awards!
EDUCATE!!! -
Hmm... not sure. An environment can affect a child, so if a child goes bad because of influences from other peers, who will be responsible?Originally posted by the Bear:$*#& all that..

Most of the time the parents try to shield their children, even though it is clear that they are in the wrong. When the teachers tried to punish the students a bit, the parents will step in and question the authority of the teachers. Then when the students become more and more spoiled and finally turn rotten, who do they blame?
The teachers and the school of course!

yeah! dat's the reason why i feel sch n parents should work together for the child's progress. sch have play a part on academic, while parents maybe should do their homework too by looking out for their child after school.Originally posted by the Bear:to whom?
you??
sheesh.. the main aim is to make the parents responsible for their own children...
personal responsibility.. something which a lot of people seem to lack these days, don't you think?
some of the things which can be implement:
- forcing n making the students to own an "Activity LogBook" to let parents sign everyday of their lifestyle.
This can also help the school n parents to understand what the students are doing and building up their communication n better understanding with one another.
- Parents' evaluation feedback on their child by submitting Bi-monthly report
This can help the sch to understand what are the parents' view n understand of their kids.
- School to report on the students academic n movement every monthly.
This helps the parents to understand the child well. -
Will this make Singapore a better place? We can teach a person, but whether they accept, it's another issue.Originally posted by 798:how bout parents MUST submit a bi-monthly report on the progress of the lifestyle for their child?
failure to do so will disqualify their children to be barred from examination!
Also, given how protective parents are today, does the threat of barring from examinations threaten them?
I don't think it will solve problems, it serves to create more.
