Shin Min headlines (19th Nov 2010)
- another poly student attacked in AMK
- MOE scholar charged with making child porn in UK
Is producing bilingual graduates or pupils their only aim?
The suicide by a medical student from the National University of Singapore (the ninth by a student in from a tertiary institution this year), the fight between rugby players and spectators from Anglo-Chinese School and Saint Andrew’s Secondary School, two elite schools, as well as the recent sex-video of the two pupils from Anglo-Chinese Junior College, strongly reflect serious issues with our society. As children become more exposed in an increasingly connected world through the internet, busy parents are finding that they increasingly do not have the time to inculcate appropriate values in the upbringing of their children. What roles do our schools play in the area of moral education? Are moral lessons only taught by religious institutions?
