Monday with the Editor: Fumbling through Mother Tongue |

"...I thank my lucky stars that when I was at school,
in my time, I did not need to pass Mother Tongue in order to go to the 'A'
Levels. Thousands of Singaporeans who went to school in the 80s and beyond
must have had a hard time grappling with two languages. I do not envy them..." |

700 new
teachers for primary schools: Education Minister Tharman
Shanmugaratnam |
|
|
|
We have been
recruiting more teachers over the last three years. It has
allowed us to deploy more teachers into schools, into
selected areas. |
|
We will be
providing 700 more teachers into primary schools, to enable
the reduction in class sizes that we announced last year -
to 30 students in P1 from 2005, and for both P1 and P2 from
2006. It will mean a reduction in the ratio of students to
teaching staff from 25.2 in 2001 to 21.5 by 2006. |
| At the JC/CI level, we have
also deployed 100 additional teachers, in order to support
the implementation of project work and to prepare for the
implementation of the revised JC curriculum from 2006. Going
forward, we aim to continue recruiting as many good teachers
as we can from the top one-third of each cohort.

Singapore
Students' Hopes, Fears & Dreams |
|
"As the third generation of
Singapore step out of school and into society,
what do you dream to accomplish? How bold is your
dream? How hard will you work towards it?
If you are totally focussed on
your studies or other pre-occupations, then
perhaps you are sleeping, but not dreaming. It is
time for you to wake up and dream. The course in
life that you are about to enrol in has no
syllabus, examinations or grades. You make your
own syllabus and assess yourself along the way.
You may learn your grades only in old age, or
maybe after you your children will find out how
well you have done." |
