Hi,

Yes, Singapore education system is one of the best in this region. However, kids nowadays mayb stressed up. Bcos of the high standards that r expected by their parents. You will be surprised to find toddlers enrolled in preschools to engage them in early-stage learning.

We have this syndrome 'fear of losing out'. ie, we're in a competitive envt that kids who are not performing well, their parents will send them for more extra lessons.

Thank god, our education curriculum is changing. There's more emphasis for life-long learning (ie, thru excursions, experiments) rather than jus mere memorising our textbooks.
