If you haven’t already heard, Singapore recently ranked top for mathematics, science and reading in the Programme for International Student Assessment, or Pisa study done by the OECD in 2022. 

But, there was a slight decline in reading, similar to that of their peers in many other countries, and other problem spots include perception of a lack of support from their parents, and a lack of physical activity. 

On this episode of Morning Shot, Jason Tan, Associate Professor for Policy, Curriculum and Leadership at the National Institute of Education shares his insights on whether our Singapore students have the critical skills for global challenges.
