民主党:新加坡教育制度急需改革

Staying together, moving ahead. Donaldson Tan

“我们的教育体制已然过时,无法让孩子们准备好应付未来,迫切需要改革。”

民主党上周六(13日)在该党总部推介《为创新和平等教育:转型的议程》,由该党主席淡马亚和今年初新近入党的方月光主持推介会。

方月光指出,现有的教育制度仍倚重考试和死记硬背,并无助于学生去适应现今越发强调创意、创新的环境。

他也认为现有制度也导致国内的不均加剧,密集的课纲导致老师面对需完成指定教程的压力,也没办法顾及学生是否有已理解。

结果,为了让孩子们跟上,家长们不得不让孩子上补习班,也间接造就了利润丰厚的行业。但是较有能力的家庭更能负担得起昂贵的补习班,这也致使清寒家庭处在劣势,进而加剧社会鸿沟。

对此,淡马亚提出该党的对于改革教育的献议,其中包括培养学生独立和批判思考能力。“我们理应教育我们的孩子如何思考,而不是该思考什么。”在现今资讯弹指间即可顺手拈来,死记硬背显然已不合时宜。

民主党也呼吁废除小六会考(PSLE),并以扩充课程来补充,该党相信这有助于减低教学工作负荷。“这能让学生更为丰富他们的学习经验,为未来做好准备,成为更为全方位、有智慧的个体。”

至于班级方面,减少至不超过20名学生,来加强师生之间的互动。

该党也提出应取消掉班级和学校的名次排名,学校也不应依据考试结果,来为学生分班。民主党相信,这可减少不均加剧。

“教育不应只局限于和同学竞争,而是以团队合作精神来促进学习。”淡马亚表示。为了跻身排名最佳学校争个头破血流是很不健康的,且根据心理专家,这对于孩子的身心灵发展可能造成心理伤害。

民主党称,教育应该是个人探索自我的过程,个人学习和发掘自我,与此同时致力改善社会和人类福祉。理应鼓励孩子们透过学习、玩乐发掘潜能、培养喜爱阅读的兴趣,而不是强迫他们学习。
