Highlights and controversies of education in Singapore
Singapore's education has its own unique features, including advantages that are worth learning, and problems that need to be reflected and improved. This paper will discuss the educational characteristics of Singapore from two aspects: highlights and controversies.

Leading in vocabulary reserve

The vocabulary of first-year students in Singapore is equivalent to that of fourth-and fifth-year students in China, which shows that their basic education is solid!

Elite training system

Singapore attaches importance to elite education, selects outstanding talents from primary schools, and provides all-round support and training for these students, so that talents can bloom!

The curriculum needs to be optimized.

Singapore's compact primary school curriculum can be completed in half a day, which may have a certain impact on children's physiology and psychology. Have you neglected the all-round development of children?

Physical activity is restricted.

Sometimes, children are deprived of the opportunity to go to physical education class because of classroom discipline problems, resulting in monotonous sports meetings and lack of physical exercise.

Too much achievement orientation

In Singapore, if students' grades are not good, teachers will advise parents to find tutors for their children. The pressure of study can be seen. Can children grow up healthily in such an environment?

Premature elimination mechanism

Singapore's primary schools are ranked in every exam, and students with poor grades may enter poor classes. Is this premature elimination too cruel, and does it affect students' self-confidence and enthusiasm?
