Report indicated in primary and secondary school report books from next year in Singapore, – a move which Education Minister Ong Ye Kung hopes will show students that “learning is not a competition”.

Report books will not just stop showing a student’s position in relation to class or cohort. The information to be dropped includes:
Class and level mean
Minimum and maximum marks
Underlining and/or colouring of failing marks
Pass/fail for end-of-year result
Mean subject grades
Overall total marks
L1R5 (English plus five relevant subjects), L1R4 , EMB3 (English, maths, best three subjects) and EMB1 for lower secondary levels
The Ministry of Education (MOE) said on Friday (Sept 28) that the change is to allow each student to focus on his or her learning progress and discourage them from being overly concerned about comparisons.

From next year all examinations for Primary 1 and 2 pupils will also be removed, and whatever forms of assessment they have will not count towards an overall grade.

The MOE said that teachers will continue to gather information about pupils’ learning through discussions, homework and quizzes. Schools will use other ways like “qualitative descriptors”, in place of marks and grades, to evaluate pupils’ progress at these two levels.

For older students in primary schools and secondary schools, marks for each subject will be rounded off and presented as a whole number, without decimal points – to reduce the focus on academic scores. Parents will continue to receive information about their child’s progress in school during parent-teacher meetings.

In an address to some 1,700 school leaders earlier this week, Mr Ong said: “I know that ‘coming in first or second’, in class or level, has traditionally been a proud recognition of a student’s achievement. But removing these indicators is for a good reason, so that the child understands from young that learning is not a competition, but a self-discipline they need to master for life.

“Notwithstanding, the report book should still contain some form of yardstick and information to allow students to judge their relative performance, and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.”

Making sense. After all professors in Nigeria can't come up with a theory. So what's the hype of grades?

I wan relocate to Singapore

Are you sure Singapore is not the heaven they are preaching about

Singapore & Nigeria are age Nate's back then Nigeria was ahead of Singapore but the founding father of Singapore had a vision and it's still working even in his death.



Selfishness & greed won't let Nigeria move forward.

The new and easy way of gifting; Gift Registry – is no news to the ears.

But do you know people actually don’t know what it means nor why the new gifting system should be adopted at their wedding ceremonies, events and so on?create a gift or wedding registry now

Let’s Roll! You will be wowed. We all know that planning a wedding can be tough, considering the fact that you have to put a lot of things together. It is called logistics, while some call it planning.

This always reminds me of Uncle Bayo’s wedding, which was successful considering the smooth organization of the programs, the number of well-wishers and most importantly the presentation of gifts from family members, colleagues, and friends.

Despite the fact that most of his friends were out of the country and some didn’t show up due to some reasons, they were still able to get their gifts across… Do you know how they were able to do that? Cheers! He created an Online Gift Registry for them.

With this, his friends and well-wishers were able to purchase the gift items directly from the Gift Registry he had created on www.drimz2laif.com, where a number of items he would love to be gifted have been selected, and then shared the link to his friends so they can make the purchase.

Awesome Right?

Payment and Delivery of the gifts were easy as payment for the items was done online, while the couple gets a notification when any of the items in their Gift registry has been paid for. The delivery process is also handled by the online store after a Scheduled Delivery Time and Place has been agreed on.

So Easy, or what do you Think? So…

Basically, Gift Registry allows couples to select gifts they would like to receive for their wedding from the comfort of their couch. If you’re considering using an online gift registry for your wedding, here are some of the benefits.

Relevant Wedding gift items: Weddings generally come with lots of gifts either cash or gifts proper. However, the challenge with giving the couple gifts is that 10 other people might be giving the same gift or the quality of the item might not be the standard of the couple, therefore, causing so many unwanted items lying fallow in the home. But with a Gift Registry, you are putting up items you truly need and the best part about gift registry is no matter the cost of an item there is Group Buying. Which gives the couple the item they truly need and quality they desire.

Logistics: Most times people bring gifts to the wedding and it can be very worrisome to get the items from one place to another, in the process some items get missing or damaged. However, with a gift registry logistics is easy all items are delivered to the couple on an agreed date.
People who can’t make your wedding: The gift registry provides an opportunity for people to be part of your BIG DAY, especially for weddings outside your town of residence or for friends who reside outside Nigeria. It gives them an opportunity to buy a gift for you as a way of making it up to you.

Easy to acknowledge: This is a very big issue with wedding gifts. most times people drop the gifts items without any form of identity and you know the typical Nigerian once they don’t know who gave them the gifts they won’t use it and therefore it is not noted on the Thank-you List.

The Nigerian Factor: Most times people are wary about collecting gifts because of the myth associated with the collection of gifts. However, the gifts registry puts an end to it as the guests buy the items without touching it.
So Easy, Right? You See

Guy, pls read the information again before you start running mouths ....

Free your mind from mental slavery! Just because a model worked for the USA, doesn’t mean it is universal.. for example Democracy is working for the USA, but you can’t say the same thing about Nigeria.

Singapore have the rights to tweak their educational system as they deem fit. They have their reasons which I think it will suite their drive towards their socio economic improvements/visions.

We as Nigerians should be concerned about how we can come together and reason on ways we can move ourselves out of this slavery and bondage that apc have piloted this country into.

Nice move

Towing the Finnish line? That's impressive. I'm sure that when America and other western nations adopt this, Nigeria will have a rethink and all this madness paralyzing our educational system will come to a halt. Shebi we cannot do without copy copy?

It would be great if you can take a minute or two to preview some information about Finland's educational system. Theirs is currently the best in the world and they don't write any exam, students and teachers don't spend much time in the school and most children don't start school till age 7. Yet, American and co are learners when it comes to this.

Honestly speaking, learning is not competition. It is just what it is "learning to understand the world". Why should that be a competition? It's when you understand how the world works that you can truly be a solution provider.
If our educational system really teaches us how to understand the world, we won't have many of the problems we're now having. But instead, our educational system is teaching us how to be a jobseeker, a salary earner, a complainer about bad political system, a consumer of technologies from other countries. That's what our education in Nigeria makes of us all the time.
