Good afternoon, Dr. Abude and to everyone here in this meeting!

I will be starting the presentation of

the comparison between the educational system of the United Kingdom and Singapore assigned to
group 3 which consists of myself who will discuss the basic information of UK and Singapore as well as
their educational Philosophy, sir Jeffrey-Jan Bacho who will discuss the objectives and aims plus the
concepts, Ma’am Charisse Jane Amador who will talk about the policy and practice, Ma’am Donna Marie
Grutas who will tackle the curriculum of both countries, Ma’am Rachel Roxas who will discuss the
methods of teaching-leaning process, Ma’am Mhelvin Reyes who will talk about the teacher-student
relationship, and Ma’am Ann Rea Glorioso who will discuss the best practices.

To begin the discussion, here’s the basic information on UK and Singapore. I only included what I
thought was relevant to our presentation. As we all know, the UK can be found in the European
continent while Singapore is in Asia. The total population of these countries have a stark contrast, UK
having 67.22M and Singapore with just 5.686M. The huge difference continues when it comes to the
number of schools, students, and teachers that the countries have. UK has 32,163 schools, 9M students,
and 624,520 teachers while Singapore has 430 schools, 510,714 students, and 51,274 teachers. If we are
to compute the student to teacher ratio of these countries, one teacher handles a class not exceeding
20 students. #SanaAll.

Moving on to the educational philosophy of these countries, let’s start with Singapore. Singapore
created a new educational concept called "Thinking Schools, Learning Nation" to provide its population
with the skills necessary to navigate this new economic paradigm. Instead of just teaching kids facts,
"thinking schools" would foster students' critical and creative thinking abilities as well as their love of
lifelong learning.

The goal of education in Singapore is to accomplish the desired educational outcomes, which will
prepare the students for the future, foster a strong sense of national identity, and equip them with the
skills they need to function in a globally connected society. It aims to bring out the best in our students
so that they are equipped to fully live their lives, give back to, and take care of their community and
country. It allows people to grow their interests, pursue their hobbies, and fulfill their potential.

For the United Kingdom, they strive to offer programs, instruction, and skill development for students
that guarantee equitable opportunity for everyone, regardless of background, familial situation, or need.

The Education Department in the UK is for potential realization at their core. By defending the weak and
assuring the provision of high standards of education, training, and care, they help children and learners
thrive. Realizing everyone's potential in this way fuels their economy, strengthens society, and promotes
fairness.

And now to discuss the next two parts of our presentation, we have sir Jeffrey-Jan Bacho.
