I wrote an article in this blog in 2011 about the urgency to rein in the prevalence of tuition
in Singapore. Excessive tuition is not conducive for forging a more creative and innovative
populace. It also have the unintended to skew our meritocratic education towards those who have more financial resources. Thus, the dice may be loaded at PSLE or even earlier unfairly against
the underprivileged children in our society.
looking at the current debate in parliament and the subsequent widespread public interest,
I guess I am alone and my worry is not unsubstantiated.
