Gerald Giam calls for education system reform and improved financial literacy in Singapore
Mr Gerald Giam, a Workers’ Party Member of Parliament for Aljunied GRC, expressed concerns about the negative effects of exams on students and how they can motivate students to aim for test mastery, instead of subject mastery.
He argued that the current education system needs to be less of a sorting mechanism and more of a launchpad for students to discover their strengths and interests and develop deep skills in their areas of interest.
He also highlighted the need to improve financial literacy among Singaporeans, proposing three suggestions to systematically uplift the financial literacy of Singaporeans.
