Singapore has the world’s best school system for one key reason

Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER)

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Australia teaches most of its students the same material at the same time, but there is a growing push toward a more targeted approach. With the release of PISA results this week , students in Singapore have again topped the world. In Australia, results have stagnated after two decades of decline. Is there anything we can learn from Singapore’s schools?
