Singapore eases obsession with exam grades
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I don't know any other. Feel free to re-post elsewhere, perhaps more appropriate ;) http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-singapore-education-idUKKBN14S0XT "Singapore's global rankings in maths and science have made its schools the envy of the developed world, but a new push to drive grassroots innovation is prompting local teachers to do the previously unthinkable: go easier on the exams."

This can be used as a case study by Matiangi's team. I like this part, "In its first such project, *Chongzheng Primary School* asked a group of its pupils to spend time in an elderly home and come up with life-improving, marketable solutions. They noticed the elderly often got lost and suggested GPS walking sticks." On Mon, Jan 9, 2017 at 9:59 AM, Tony White via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
