Singapore's education system mainly only teaches students how to be exam-smart. The teachers in schools even at primary school level, do not teach mostly for knowledge but teaches students methods on how to score in an examination. Teachers flood students with practice papers after practice papers, and emphasise heavily on the best methods to answer examination questions so as to do well in them. As a result, students these days do not try to think of alternative ways to answer examination question that will best showcase their opinion in an answer. Rather, they tend to just blindly follow the steps taught by teachers in answering examination questions. The education system has become very structured as they focus increasingly on how to do well in assessment-based examinations rather than to quench the student's thirst for knowledge. This is increasingly significant at secondary and junior colleges level. Thus, students are no longer able to think for themselves on how to express themselves but rather, every written work produce is similar in every student, lacking in personal opinions and creativity.
