MOE Lacking Moral Education & Character Development - 百年樹仁

All the debates and media reports about Mother Tongue weightage, streaming, ranking, international awards winning, etc by MOE schools. Moral education and character developments seem lacking which is much needed with the increased undergrad suicide rate and other social ills including the rugby match gang fight between ACS and Saint Andrew School last month. Since January-April this year alone, five undergrads took their lives, jumping from HDB flats. Not sure if family and relationship issues the only root causes as reported by the Shin Min Daily. Three from NTU, one from NUS and one from Temasek Poly. The MOE eudcation system is overly focused on performance ranking, academic achievement and the acquisition of skills to prepare students for the rat race and paper chase. The root causes of all these social ills - early streaming, ranking and branding of our schools.
