Education system changes will bring back joy of learning, says Straits Times correspondent at askSTNLB session

SINGAPORE - Education is a social leveller. And the recent changes to the education system to place less emphasis on exams will help more children succeed in diverse ways.

"We are a system that is overly focused on exams… that puts a narrow focus on education objectives. It also takes away all the time you can spend on PE, sports, CCAs, music, dance and others,'' said Ms Davie. At Friday's 90-minute session, Ms Davie explained the big changes that have been put in place in the education system.

"These changes are good as they will emphasise less the individual rankings, which was a stressful system," said Ms Davie."With the wider banding system, the stress level should be considerably lower."
