Upgraded Education of Singapore
“We have to prepare ourselves for a future of intense competition and shifting competitive advantages, a future of ever increasing change where technologies are replaced at an increasing pace.”

Goh Chok Tong Prime Minister, Singapore 1997 On August 9, 1965, Singapore declared independence from Malaysia. Every year, more tourists visit Singapore, drawn by the country's world-renowned food and cutting-edge architecture. It should be mentioned that education is a critical component in its development. The Singapore government improves the following disciplines on a regular basis through extracurricular practices, which comprise tones of research with foreign curriculum. State education and government-assisted private education typically consume about 20% of the annual national budget. Singapore has the highest performance in international education and tops the global rankings, according to PISA, a renowned worldwide research on educational systems.

The positive sites of the educational system of Singapore
To begin, English is the primary language of instruction and has been formally designated as a language of public education. Language skills are developed beginning in kindergarten and continue to grow until children reach primary school. However, though English is the language of instruction, they employ Malay, Mandarin Chinese, and Tamil during the lectures.

Kindergarten is a three-year educational programme for children aged three to six years old. Its major purpose is to prepare children for formal education in elementary school. The private sector, which includes community foundations, religious organizations, business groupings, and corporations, regulates kindergartens.

There are two types of phases in primary education: a four-year foundation stage and a two-year orientation stage. Homeschooling is also an option for people who are unable to attend public schools; however, after a four-year foundation programme, students must take a test to determine whether they may continue homeschooling. English, Mandarin Chinese or Tamil, Malay, mathematics, and science are all part of a four-year foundation stage. Other disciplines taught throughout the two-year orientation period include civics and moral education, arts and crafts, music, health education, and physical education. English is considered a first language in primary school since it is the language of worldwide business, technology, and science. If students arrive with advanced English skills, they are taught in their mother tongue.

After completing a two-stage of primary school, students must sit for the national primary school leaving examination (PSLE), which measures their previous knowledge. The following tests assist students in selecting a secondary school based on their results and merit.

According to PSLE scores, students will be assigned to one of three groups by the end of 2023: "Express," "Normal (Academic)," or "Normal (Technical)." From 2024, the system will be divided into G1, G2, and G3 bands, which will be defined by the subject-based banding structure. It should be emphasized that citizens cannot be admitted to overseas schools without the Ministry of Education's consent.

"Express" is a four-year programme that prepares students for the Singapore-Cambridge GCE O Level examination. The distinction between these two courses is that students in the "Special" stream study "Higher Mother Tongue" rather than "Mother Tongue."

"Normal (Academic)" is a four-year study leading up to the N(A)-level test, with the option of a fifth year going up to the GCE O-level exam. The Normal (Academic) programme is designed to prepare students for the O-level exam in the fifth year, contingent on satisfactory achievement in the N-level exam in the fourth year, and pupils study academic courses such as Principles of Accounting.

"Normal (Technical)" is a four-year programme that prepares students for the Normal (Technical) level (N(T)-level) test. Students in Normal (Technical) study subjects of a more technical nature, such as Design and Technology, and generally progress to the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) after passing the N(T)-level test in the fourth year.

Teachers are the foundation of Singapore's educational system. The Ministry of Education is dedicated to fostering and motivating teachers to grow and achieve their personal and professional goals in accordance with their aspirations and interests. Teacher academies, language institutes, and HQ divisions develop a strong culture of professional excellence based on a teacher ownership and teacher leadership (TOTL) philosophy.

Administration believes that parents and the community play an important role in the development of students and encourages them to collaborate with schools to provide an overview of the educational system and to establish a caring and conducive learning environment in schools, at home, and in the community.

Units of Lifelong Learning Furthermore, lifelong learning units have been established to organize and monitor programmes that cater to adult learners, such as increasing the delivery of shorter, bite-sized courses. Some of these lead to micro-credentials, such as graduate certificates, which provide recognition without requiring a longer-term commitment. Universities are also increasing their assistance for alumni's ongoing learning.

SkillsFuture is a national programme that aims to provide Singaporeans of all backgrounds with chances to reach their full potential via lifelong learning and skill development. Individuals, employers, industry associations, unions, training providers, and government agencies are among the parties involved in the movement.

SkillsFuture's four main thrusts are as follows:

- Assist individuals in making well-informed decisions about education, training, and careers;

- Create a comprehensive high-quality education and training system that adapts to continually changing demands;

- Promote employer recognition and career growth based on skills and mastery;

- Create a culture that encourages and honors lifelong learning.

Future CreditSkills Singapore Citizens aged 25 and above are eligible for a $500 SkillsFuture Credit to help stimulate a culture of lifelong learning and encourage individual ownership of their skill development. In 2020, a $500 broad-based top-up was announced, along with a $500 SkillsFuture Credit (Mid-Career Support) for Singaporeans aged 40 to 60 to be utilized on career transition programmes at CET Centres.

Universities and colleges are run in other developed and developing countries, but here it should be mentioned that students are accepted based on their GCE O level results, which is hardly seen in Asia at all.

Elements that can be worked on in Uzbekistan:

 * Every curriculum must    include national values, traditions, and customs, so by also keeping our     individualism, we can make it more patriotic.

For example, in Singapore, we can also determine English as a language of instructions because it is a language of technology, business, and science.


 * Primary school schedules    are good at using subjects on purpose because the following system helps     pupils realize their interests and skills step by step accurately.
 * Primary school has its    examination, which can help administration be aware of the level of their     pupils, and in secondary school, in order to keep a balance among pupils,     they make individual programmes that will lead them to have similar     results at the end.
 * Secondary school helps    pupils focus on their talent and skills, which can be a good start to their future careers.
 * Using the A-level    Cambridge programme, the ministry of education in Singapore requires that youth be attentive to information about worldwide changes. Because most international examinations are built on broadening horizons, they also     give students extra privileges when entering high-ranked universities all over the world.

In conclusion, Singapore's education system is built on encouraging critical and creative thinking, increasing curriculum diversity, increasing structural diversity, and increasing resourcing to stimulate innovation and improvements in teacher education, service, and working environments.
