With regard to the five points Mr Teo said in his speech , One of the more important point would be a strong culture of education and learning .
Singapore students consistently do very well in international comparisons in science and mathematics as they have received a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy . Our students also do very well in comparisons of literacy which is quite an achievement considering that our students take their literacy test in English which is not the home language for most of them . Such achievements show that our students and their parents place a lot of importance on education . The goverment has also invested Singsignificant resources to improve the quality of education for every student in every school to ensure that they study in a conducive environment .
Our education system have also recognise the value of diversity and students can choose to achieve success by pursuing education pathways that match that interests and individual ability . Also , despite the fact that our local universities , polytechnics and Institute of Technical Education are among the best in their class among the world , the Goverment are still investing heavily in them which shows that they take great pride in them .
Singapore also comes up with schemes to help the people who wants to increase their knowledge and upgrade their skills . One good example would be Continuing Education and Training Masterplan to continually allow workers to upgrade their skills .
In a nutshell , Education is not about which instituition you go to , it is the attitude . If our citizens are allowed and given the chance to learn continously , their mind would be fresh and young which is one of the keys to keeping Singapore and our people 'Forever Young '
