Hi Aaron,

I read your post with great interest. I am from the other side of the Straits and I must say in Malaysia it’s quite the same thing.

hi aaron,
I am just a typical secondary school student who well complains about everything. Haha. Tomorrow is my GP test on education and i really appreciate the insights that you have sighted in your blog posts. It really gave me an impartial thinking of our own education system. Thank you very much

Singapore’s Education System Is a Failure

I think that the main purpose of education is to impart knowledge and comprehension ability so that human beings will be able to understand what goes on around them and subsequently, be able to make informed decisions by themselves.
Being a product of the Singapore education system, I would say that the system is truly one of the best in terms of producing people who can ace examinations. Unfortunately, the system fails spectacularly in preparing one to make informed decisions about one critical aspect of life, and that is finances.
Of course, some people would point out that we are promoting entrepreneurship in schools. That teaches you, or rather encourages you to make money. However, it does not teach you how to spend money wisely. With the entrepreneurship drive, it seems to me that we are teaching that the solution to money problems is even more money.
However, this is a huge fallacy. How many people can actually be so successful at entrepreneurship that money is never a problem ever again? Most people either end up being a salaried worker, or perhaps owning a small-medium enterprise. For many of us, money will always be a constant headache.

thanks for my project

I haven’t gotten much done these days. So it goes. What can I say? I’ve just been letting everything pass me by. Basically not much going on lately, but it’s not important. I’ve basically been doing nothing worth mentioning.

Very well written! We share the same thoughts, although I learn through the hard way and were abit of late… glad you written this out. I come across many that are in debt be it due to house, car, credit cards, education, gambling even helping etc.. Sometimes is predicamentâ€¦
Ironically our world or society has evolved and change into a place where financial ‘Webs’ are cast all over. We do need new skills, knowledge and tools in order to steer safely across, once you fall into the trap you will be immobilize, and slowly wait for your turn to become meal of that spider. I fully support the idea of educating the young with financial knowledge and also good values. Without a good heart, the knife will not be put to good use either.
