SHARE THIS Shares Share Tweet Share Share Email Share Share Share Share Pin Follow us: MONDAY 7 JANUARY 2013 MERITOCRACY IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST ACADEMIC GRADES MERITOCRACY in Singapore is about more than just academic grades, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong as he stressed that everyone here has a shot at success. “When we say ‘merit’, we are not just talking about grades or scores, but also character, leadership and a broad range of talents,” said Lee said in a speech to more than 1,500 students and their parents at a bursary and Edusave award ceremony in his Teck Ghee ward. He said: “We make sure that whatever your family background, whatever your circumstances, you may be poor, you may be from a single-parent family, you may be having some learning disabilities, but if you work hard, you can succeed. “It does not matter what your background is. We make sure we identify you, we give you the opportunities and also the resources and the support so that if you succeed, you can do well for Singapore.” Yesterday was the second time in just over a month that PM Lee stressed that meritocracy cannot be narrowly defined as being just about grades. He also spoke on the topic at a PAP conference on Dec 2 last year. In that speech, the Prime Minister said he was worried when Singaporeans reject meritocracy and asked what could replace merit as the basis for decisions on jobs or school places. The principle has come under considerable scrutiny in recent months, especially in the field of education. While the Prime Minister repeated the same call on broadening the definition of meritocracy, yesterday he focused on what roles parents and students can play in it. He urged parents to set an example: “Guide your children, set good examples and instil good moral values in them.” Turning to students, Lee urged them not to neglect their studies even though there would be more focus on character, leadership and service. “Results and grades are not the only measure of success or the only things that matter in life,” Lee said, adding: “It is important that you learn and study to give you a good foundation for what you can do in life.” He pledged that the Government will continue to help all students achieve their potential. — The Straits Times / Asia News Network Posted by righways at 13:10 Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Labels: Characters, Education, family, Leadership, Meritocracy, Relationship, Singapore, talents, training NO COMMENTS: POST A COMMENT Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) RIGHTWAYS FEATURED POST MORAL VACUUM AT THE HEART OF MODERNITY, NOW EMBODIED IN US LAWS! ` ` MAN and nature are running out of time.

MORAL VACUUM AT THE HEART OF MODERNITY, NOW EMBODIED IN US LAWS! ` In short, historically it was the Church that gave the moral blessing for colonisation, slavery and genocide during the Age of Globalisation. The tragedy is that the Doctrine of Discovery is now embodied in US laws. WELCOME! 歡迎和風行少年連結 謝謝 Experience suggests that Washington often says one thing and does another, using beautiful concepts as their brand of bullying and forcefully reshaping the meaning of those concepts. For example, Washington often talks about "rules," but the world has seen the US consistently commit the most brutal violations of the rules on which the United Nations system is based. The rules they talk about are actually a framework for protecting the interests of the US and its major allies. They are also a behavioral norm to force other countries to maximize those interests.
