Singapore’s educational system is one of the top in the world. having its current ranking is at 2^nd in the world, this is one of the main attraction to foreign who want their children to have top quality education. Singapore currently separate it education system into 4 different stages namely; primary, secondary, ITE / Poly and University.

By doing so, it allows the system to run more systemically. It separates all the levels and make sure that each level are learning the correct stuff and progressively improving them. Singapore government spends lots of money to improve the education system. Not only are the foreigners attracted to the education level of Singapore, Singaporean too are also fighting over for a place to be in well known school for their children.

I agreed that no doubt, the educational system is Singapore is good but it too, has its flaw. For example, there are some well known schools that selectively select only smart children into their school. We can view this example in two view point. Smart kids that are placed together are less time consuming when teaching them but again, it will cultivate a strong sense of competition among the students, stressing them out and making them to have a competitive mentality.

On the other hand, students who are smart and place into a normal well known school often learn much faster and progress faster because they help their peers by explaining to them. During the explanations, the students revise the work in their mind, allowing them to revise and apply the knowledge when teaching.

I feel that all the students should be mix equally so that no one will be left alone to progress. It may be slower in progressing but it will definitely bring the education system into another level.
