05 Dec Take note Canada – why Singapore has the smartest kids in the world
I just finished watching Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s report on CNN’s “Vital Signs” on why Singapore has the smartest kids in the world. What an inspiring and thought provoking story. Take note Quebec, and the rest of Canada! Here in Quebec, our teachers are striking as our Provincial government wants to significantly increase the amount of students a teacher has per class. Teachers here are repeatedly asked to keep absorbing nonsensical cuts to our education system. Our education system is the foundation of what our societies will look like in the future. If we’re not investing in our children, and the re-education of our older generations, the future doesn’t look so bright. We need new thinking and transformation in our educational institutions, away from silos, into emergent new platforms that encourage creative and divergent thinking. With our new Canadian Government in place, I hope that change will mean new funding for the anemic state of our struggling education and healthcare institutions which serve as the basic backbone to our good Canadian way of life.
