"In 1997, Mr Goh Chok Tong, then Prime Minister, declared that Singapore's vision for meeting the challenge for the future was encapsulated in four words: Thinking Schools, Learning Nation (TSLN). A series of education initiatives followed in the wake of the vision to support its realisation. Organised into four main sections of Macro-policies, Initiatives, School and Teachers, and Frontiers, the chapters in this book cover a gamut of topics such as the marketisation of education, the International Baccalaureate programme, Teach less Learn More, Knowledge and Inquiry, National Education, special needs education, and sexuality education.
Thinking Schools, Learning Nation : Contemporary Issues and Challenges examines and discusses several contemporary education issues and challenges in this TSLN era, and will be relevant to students, teachers, school leaders, academics and educational policymakers in a period of rapid education reform"--Back cover.
