- Singapore's 15-year-olds are top in the world for creative thinking, but they don't necessarily believe that's the case. This, according to results from the Programme for International Student Assessment. PISA judged students' ability to generate creative ideas and come up with novel solutions to problems. The assessment showed about 60% of the 6,600 Singaporeans who took part were top performers, more than twice the OECD average of 27%. Ms Liew Wei Li, director-general of education at MOE, discussed the findings.

It’s hard to argue against Singapore’s educational system, given that the country is a consistent top-notcher on education rankings such as PISA.
“Such an approach will enrich our students’ educational experience and prepare them for a future that will require them to be well-rounded, intelligent individuals.”
Excellent! It's so obvious that PAP is the only competent and effective party in s'pore. Everyone associated with PAP deserves a pay raise! ❤❤
Is not the academic scoring but how it eventually translates to real life that really matters to people in the world
High creativity scores are great but the crux is how such creativity translates to day-to-day lives, how it contributes to joy and happiness and meaningful lives
But Singapore needs to ask itself if “we are generating… workers of tomorrow. That part is much more unclear to me.”
As a Singaporean, I am proud Singapore is at/near the top in terms of PISA performance in reading, math and science. In terms of creative thinking, I'm not so sure. Creative thinking in terms of problem solving, I have no doubt about Singapore and SIngaporeans. Creative thinking in terms of artistic and political expression, I beg to differ. Singapore still has a LONG way to go in these aspects. Creative thinking is at its best when the essence of being comes from the individuals that make up the community and the nation, and not mainly from the central governing body.
Don't just look at things on the surface and conclude that we are the best in the world. How are the students being selected? Are we choosing are better or best students to compete with other countries' average students? We should know very well how our kasiu mentality works.
Congrats, Singapore.👏👏👏 🎉😊
any world wide WELL KNOWN invention from Singapore other than Creative Sound Blaster from the 80s?
I doubt many will try to question about OECD professionalism or bias, not even UK based sour 🍇 FT or Economists Mag. 😂
it is a people who can truly go past what is already available in terms of what we know to be universal possibilities.
How we know the old ways might be better?...this is the 1st baseline...
I find it hard to be creative in real life when it's difficult to "rock the boat" so to speak. In other words, creativity is being stifled by the Singapore system. Here we are thinking of creativity in terms of problem solving but creativity to me is about creating something out of nothing, something that has lasting beauty and value to society, not about acing more assessments, examinations and tests. I think Singapore has focused too much on STEM subjects so much so that more and more young people are feeling lost (empirically speaking of course), operating like a cog in the economic wheel, chasing after only materialism. Put in a balanced and equal focus on the humanities, please.
What's the use of winning all these global competitions, what's the point of exams, if our students are not groomed for the workplace.
and that will be taken away through MOE & MOM
Paul Tambyah also said that class-size should be reduced to no more than 20 students per teacher. This will enhance teacher-pupil interaction.
🎉🎉🎉
Trying to quantify ‘creavity’ is a very Singaporean mentality
So stuck with assessing the creative thinking results?
