That statement would probably be true a decade ago. Now, with the new teaching and education system, Singapore students are made to use their creativity in various parts of their schooling.
While it is quite true that exams now still focus on the regurgitation of facts and information, there has been several improvements made to address that problem.
Firstly, Project work is one way that a student is tested on their creativity and thinking skills. They are given a topic and allowed to have their own interpretation of it. Depending on their creativity, one can go from apples-apples to apples-cars. It becomes the platform for pupils to think out of the box and try out something new.
Many science examination that were reputed to be only testing on facts now have application questions. Students are required to not only state the factual details but also to use it and solve a real-life example. This way, they are forced to forgo the brainless method of memorising and create ways to solve a problem.
The efforts of the international committee is more visible as compared to those of the individual. The Kyoto Protocol managed to gain the support of at least 55 nations and created an agreement between these countries to reduce their carbon emissions by 2015. In this, we can see that international committees are able to gain the attention of audiences throughout the globe about a matter, and help implement plans to conserve the environment.
In addition, the international committees(eg. UN) have more power then a smaller, individual organisation. Most of the time, they are able to successfully carry out a certain plan as they have the capital, tools and connections to do so. This advantage over the individual organisations would eventually allow the international efforts to be more rewarding.
