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
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.
Have a look at the test questions from PISA, can search internet for samples. It may change your belief about creative thinking when you have certain assumptions about the test itself. It's not what you think.
In reality, Singapore may be on the top based on this format but it isn't "big" enough to change the whole world's scenario. The "power" of the nation is not dependent on just the top 2 to 5 % of the population but indeed generally the next 20- 30% of the next cleverer population to develop or to compete. Just look at India, surely she got the top 2.5% of "geniuses" to invent and to suggest but the next 30% simply cannot support nor follow-up, hence she will struggle to compete with China.
Lee Kuan Yew said in his book "From 3rd World to 1st" Singaporeans don't want to get their hands dirty. It means most of them will end up in desk jobs. In terms of working in a construction or carpentry they will fail. So, they are mostly allocated to offices (white collar).
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.
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.
😂. Would you prefer to follow what Malaysia does? Poor ranking and just keep on bragging in social media they are better than us. E.g. they say Malaysians are richer, UM rejects go to Singapore. 😂

@martinarchie2902 Leader of the Opposition and Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh was charged on March 19 with two counts of lying to a Parliamentary Committee two years after the police opened investigations into his conduct before the Committee of Priveleges.
So stuck with assessing the creative thinking results? I have the systematic methodologies, but I have not seen the test system, it requires certain mind mapping to realign the approaches.
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. Let's be pragmatic; eventually, livelihood & career fulfilment are what really matters. Thus, MOE & MOM must work together closely, to identify the trends, supply & demand for manpower. Plan ahead, be forward looking. Most importantly, ministries must work together pls. Playing catch up, always behind the curve, faced with manpower shortage, will end up being desperate again to recruit foreigners, while our own bright students were rejected due to super high entry criteria. Plan ahead for a rapidly ageing population. We will need more dentists, doctors, nurses, healthcare workers as the older ones retire. We need to keep ahead of the curve, and start channelling more students into relevant faculties.
What is important, Jamus added, is to not merely bring average scores up. “That’s what we have managed to do, bring the average level up, such that our averages are among the best in the world, if not the best.
@martinarchie2902 Associate Professor Jamus LIm noted that Singapore's traditional strengths lie in "an Efficient Government, ease of doing buisness, and world class infrastructure also continued to propel it's overall performance"
I fear that that ladder will run out or the bottom will be pulled away from under because what we also need is to recognize that innovation, creativity, and thinking outside established parameters are not only just as important, but are going to become increasingly more important.” Jamus Lim WP
I think we need to teach our people to be more thick skinned. Singaporeans lose out in that. Malaysians beat us in this. They are sooo thick skinned, think they are 10 when they are 5.

Not sure how PISA scores measured creativity but Singapore students are best at answering to exams compare to others. HR being the only resource, the lack of confidence despite apparent scores for creativity shows that students will not achieve becos they don’t even believe they can. That is alarming. That speaks volumes about our education’s ability to affirm and empower. This is a failure disguised as success.

Singapore's way of boosting their image. Have you ever seen Genius or Creator/inventor in Singapore, not at all. Singapore always finds a way to praise itself.
OECD's PISA Test was not created by Singapore. So happens that Singapore 15-year olds came up top. Singapore has many things voted first in the world, by others.

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.
With stakeholders suffering?...
