Overview

We witnessed before the turn of the twenty-first century that Singapore's education undertook a series of curricular innovation and related infrastructure development. The changes included expansion in physical spaces of learning in the classroom, installation of information and communication technologies for multimedia-based learning, large-scale recruitment of graduate teachers, revision of teacher salaries and promotion opportunities, curricular diversity, and research on pedagogies and classroom practices.
