The author tells the story of Singapore’s journey in transforming its education system to one that is acclaimed internationally for its success. The importance of context and culture is highlighted as well as the paradoxical positions they generate—timely change and timeless constants, centralization and decentralization, meritocracy and compassion, and teaching less and learning more.
