Make Reflection
If given an opportunity to experience teaching in another country listed above, where
would you like to teach? Explain.

— If given the chance and opportunity to experience teaching in another country. I would rather
choose to teach in the country of Singapore because of some reasons:

First Reason: Today, the school system of Singapore is considered the best worldwide. And this
is not only restricted to high schools but also at the university levels, with the National
University of Singapore being the highest ranking in Asia and outperforming renowned
institutions worldwide.

Second Reason: In Singapore, they have an intensive, appropriate and relevant Curriculum which
focuses on teaching specific subjects and problem-solving skills. Singapore's school system
encourages project work and creative thinking. Hence, the country introduced a Teach Less,
Learn More strategy, which inspires teachers to focus on quality rather than quantity of
education.

Third Reason Singapore's education system is highly centralized. The Ministry of Education
oversees kindergarten (ages four to five) through higher education and lifelong learning.

Fourth Reason: Singapore as having the best education system in the world. Also, Education in
Singapore is superior because the classes are focused on teaching the students specific problem-
solving skills and subjects.

Fifth Reason Based on research studies and a profound survey of teachers' status in 21 countries
has found that Singapore has a relatively high level of respect for teachers, ranking seventh
ahead of Finland, Britain and the United States. Perhaps, the study looked at key indicators of
teacher status, such as public perception of the profession and salaries.
