Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat has shared his suggestions on what makes a good school.
The slogan “Every School a Good School” was popularised by Mr Heng when he was education minister from 2011 to 2015.
First, Mr Heng suggested that students should take a broader view of what “good” means. He told students not to get pigeonholed by their grades or use their grades as their primary measure of success.
Second, Mr Heng said that diversity must be central to the student experience.
Lastly, he said that a good education must continue to emphasise a spirit of service.
