The rigid and sophisticated education system in Singapore has raised many concerns; many of which involving how our students are being 'programmed' with test papers and stale 'by-the-book' styled teaching. Many students are able to effectively replicate model answers provided by textbooks and teachers during examinations. However, many lack insightful understanding of concepts. Singapore's education system is a much guided one where students are spoon fed by their teachers and mentors. This deprives them of any independent learning and room for creativity. Examinations is an effective tool to assess a student's credibility, however mundane and rigorous demands of examinations have produce students incapable of displaying any innovation. The over emphasis on results has doused the passion for educating hence producing a generation of homogeneous students. many students taking the 'O' levels national examinations were able to excel due to their diligence. Subjects like history and social studies does not require an analytical mind to excel. On the contrary, a person that is able to memorize that whole textbook would achieve a better grade as compare to one that is innovative and creative in his thinking. Diligence cannot be a yardstick to measure one's capability and intelligence, while creativity and innovation can be benchmark to one's creativity and innovation.
