The sad fact of the matter is that MOE is filled with incompetence. Look at the so called premier schools today, teachers are leaving by the dozens. The fact is that Principals are completely incompetent and egocentric. All they need to do is the blind side the MOE into believing that they are doing something very revolutionary in education for their schools and then get promoted. MOE has no ability to assess the effectiveness as it needs time. In the meanwhile, these fat incompetent Principals get promoted and move on. They leave a pile of shit behind and the next principle just cancels out everything and start from scratch again.. The students suffer and the tuition centers boom. The principle walks out with a false sense of achievement and dishes out more rubbish but now at a higher level thus corroding the system further. Who checks on this?? No one!! Cluster Superintendents? They are worst. MOE? They are paid to sleep on the job. The Director General, Ho Peng? Nepotistic appointment. If not the system wouldn't be like theses. Oh! They effectively cover the shit with periodic announcement of students'achievements. Usually these are products of tuition centers not schools. Our system is rotting from inside due to gross incompetence from the top. Ministers are like mushrooms fed by MOE- Kept in the dark and fed shit so that he would not be able even to smell the truth. The education minister doe not even know what's happening in the school his son is studying in because the school management manages the son's exposure. Sad fact. I am grateful to Workers'party for punching a hole in the PAP system so that they are threaten and start to wake up. I hope they will look into the truth of our education system before we lose a generation. Hammer!!!!!
