About the Seminar
Singapore is ranked first in the quality in education system by the Global Competitiveness Report 2007–2008, and is consistently among the top performing countries in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS)¹ conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement.

A study of Singapore Maths conducted by the American Institutes for Research for the US Department of Education in 2005 concluded, “what the United States needs overall are the sound features of the Singapore Mathematics system.”

Singapore’s unique approach has gained widespread acceptance in schools and by home educators in 25 countries worldwide, including the US, Australia, the Middle East, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea and Chile. These programmes have also been approved and adopted for use by Education ministries from the states of California and Oregon, in the US, the Ministry of Education in Hong Kong and in Libya and are consistently used as reference by many education boards internationally.

What are the unique ingredients that go into making Singapore’s approach a success locally and overseas? How did Singapore students consistently score at the top of international maths and science league tables and also enjoy learning in the process?² How have other countries successfully used the programmes and seen marked improvements by their students?

We invite you to join us in the session: “It works! Singapore’s approach to teaching Mathematics and Science” to find out more about the research-based, results-proven programmes from Singapore.

The session will provide insights into the ingredients that make Singapore’s educational approach a success. There will be an emphasis on the teaching of Mathematics and Science. Ms Ling Yuan will also share how the textbooks are used to teach in Singapore schools as well as provide examples of case studies.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn more about one of the most successful maths and science programmes in the world.
