Review Singapore education system carefully, what do we need to do?

Engagement with parents is an important speech Heng Swee Keat Education Minister in the Department of Education (MOE) annual seminar work, in particular, he mentioned that "a gesture toward the parents are not always easy but our schools have to see it as an investment for a lasting partnership "to create. Traditionally, the relationship between parents and educators is characterized by a disproportionate emphasis on the academic career of student performance and the performance itself, and even new book "report" to provide a general profile development (HDP), not students with a staff and participation at the macro level may prove to be the main obstacles.
Involvement of students on a personal level
Since the MOE and schools will begin to get the right policy engagement establish and develop new strategies or platforms - in partnership with community and parents support the school (compass) - to reach them more proactively with parents, it will be useful for students to get involved in the process and, indeed, as intelligently managed, they can serve as a bridge between parents and teachers. By having them - especially for students at institutions of higher education and secondary education - to participate in these activities, it will both strengthen their sense of commitment to their love studies in progress.
First, it is helpful for students some of the existing Parent-Teacher Meeting Mechanism (PTM), which obviously is considered the largest student progress in different areas to facilitate. Stakeholders can then better care of children in a more intimate, and to ensure that the teaching-learning at home and school are complementary. Second, institutions and social organizations, most programs are provided for the existing relationships and productive partnership between parents and children more easily.
Current efforts on the students' opinions about broader political issues, are relatively shallow.
On a more macro-level ...
Current efforts of the students their views on broader policy issues - about the benefits of the joint program, the amount of project work, the corresponding rules in extracurricular activities, etc. - rather Superficially, then, very few efforts have attempted to gather first hand view of students to the challenges and gaps in existing systems. Apart from occasional session if the policy dialogue forum, there are sustainable opportunities for active recommendations of ideas and comments. Even when administrators and representatives of the MOE to make visits to schools, non-anecdotal reports have highlighted how the school is committed to repeat the session for the best part of each show.
Gradually, the session is designed for students measures the changes they believe are beneficial to their school to gain experience. Vis-à-vis the interactions of this nature can provide insights that current measures provide. If the company is effectively managed, it will certainly raise the level of active citizens in the country, and make people more conscious, aware and involved in society in the future.
