This is elitism in Singapore education system. Just take a look at the teachers'workload. If these educators are so stressed up, what more down the line to the students? The heavy price we are paying for due to agressive streaming, ranking and branding in our schools.Due to the ranking system, parents and education professionals are so obsessed in getting good grades that moral values declined in the priority order. Aggressive streaming done at too young an age kill alot of late developers and potential talents. This is equivalent to pre-qualifying marathoner during the early part of the race, eg the first five kilometers. Even Hong Kong already joined the Nobel club last year. Under MOE system, after more than 45 years, this country yet to produce our first Nobel Prize!
