It has grown from its traditional role as a regional port and distribution center in the 1960s to an international manufacturing and service center in the 1970s and 1980s, and now into a center of science-based manufacturing and knowledge-intensive technical services. Much has been written to explain this success. Emphasis has been placed on the early adoption of an export-oriented strategy for industrialization, high savings and investment rates, a stable macroeconomic environment, and even socio cultural traits that support successful industrialization. This volume documents a less-explored aspect of Singapore's economic development: it examines the transformation of the education and training system since the country's independence in 1965 and how the process contributed to skills formation and, hence, economic change.La Academia Chilena de Ciencias presenta la publicación de este libro sobre el sistema educativo en Singapur como un aporte al desarrollo de su sistema educativo, que en esta etapa presenta enormes desafíos para las políticas públicas. Singapur representa una experiencia tremendamente exitosa en educación, que a través de cambios profundos y en poco tiempo ha avanzado significativamente en la calidad de su sistema educativo. En forma sostenida ha ido moldeando un sistema que entrega educación de calidad a todos sus ciudadanos. Esta nación invierte fuertemente en educación, diseña planes, los ejecuta, los evalúa, diseña planes piloto, los escala y modifica, en una espiral ascendente, donde el logro de las metas es crucial a la hora de la evaluación Por un lado, su análisis y estudio presenta una extraordinaria oportunidad para comprender mejor el rol de los agentes, de las relaciones que se establecen en el sistema educacional y la importancia crucial de la coordinación y perseverancia de las políticas públicas en educación. Por otro lado, Singapur ofrece herramientas, metodologías, ideas y resultados de investigación que pueden ser estudiados, contrastados y en algunos casos adaptados a la realidad de Chile.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABLE STUDENTSACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONSACADEMIC RESULTSACADEMIC YEARACCESS TO SECONDARY EDUCATIONADULT EDUCATIONADULT LEARNINGAPTITUDESARTSAVAILABILITY OF TEXTBOOKSAVERAGE SCOREBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC LITERACYBASIC PRINCIPLESBASIC SKILLSBILINGUAL EDUCATIONCERTIFICATE IN EDUCATIONCIVICSCOHORT OF STUDENTSCOMPUTER LITERACYCONSTRUCTION OF SCHOOLSCONTINUING EDUCATIONCONTINUOUS LEARNINGCORE TEXTBOOKCURRICULUMCURRICULUM CHANGECURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTCURRICULUM MATERIALSCURRICULUM PLANNINGCURRICULUM STANDARDSDECISION MAKINGDEMAND OF EDUCATIONEDUCATION BUDGETEDUCATION DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION DIVISIONEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION MINISTERSEDUCATION OFFICIALSEDUCATION PLANNERSEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROJECTSEDUCATION REFORMEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SERVICESEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTEDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENTEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEDUCATIONAL LEVELSEDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIESEDUCATIONAL QUALITYEDUCATIONAL REFORMSEDUCATIONAL STANDARDSEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMSENGINEERINGENROLLMENT FIGURESENROLLMENT RATESENROLLMENT RATIOSEQUAL OPPORTUNITYEQUAL TREATMENTFORMAL EDUCATIONFREE PLAYFREE PRIMARY EDUCATIONFREE TEXTBOOKSFUNCTIONAL SCHOOLSFUTURE EDUCATIONGIRLSGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATIOSHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER LEARNINGHOME ECONOMICSINDIGENOUS LANGUAGESINDUSTRIAL TRAININGINSTRUCTIONINSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALSLANGUAGE POLICYLEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEARNING DIFFICULTIESLITERACYLITERACY RATELITERACY SKILLSLOCAL PUBLISHERSLOWER SECONDARY EDUCATIONMATHEMATICSMEDIUM OF INSTRUCTIONMOTHER TONGUEMOTHER TONGUESNATIONAL CURRICULUMNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL EDUCATION SYSTEMNATIONAL EXAMINATIONSNATIONAL LANGUAGENATIONAL UNIVERSITYNATURAL SCIENCESNUMBER OF TEACHERSNUMERACYOCCUPATIONSPHILOSOPHYPHYSICAL EDUCATIONPOPULATION GROWTHPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY ENROLLMENTPRIMARY PUPILSPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL ENROLLMENTPRIMARY SCHOOL LEAVING EXAMINATIONPRIMARY SCHOOL SYSTEMPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIMARY SCIENCEPRIMARY-SCHOOLPRIVATE EDUCATIONPRIVATE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE EXPENDITUREPRIVATE PRINTERSPRIVATE SCHOOLSPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPUBLIC SCHOOLSPUBLISHING INDUSTRYPUPILSQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY EDUCATIONRADIOREADINGRECRUITMENT OF TEACHERSRETRAININGRURAL AREASSCHOOL BUILDINGSSCHOOL CHILDRENSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURESCHOOL LEADERSSCHOOL LEAVERSSCHOOL LEVELSSCHOOL POPULATIONSCHOOL SITESSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL SYSTEMSSCHOOLINGSCIENCE EDUCATIONSCIENCE STUDYSECOND LANGUAGESECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLSSKILL TRAININGSKILLED PERSONNELSKILLED WORKERSSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSKILLS FOR EMPLOYMENTSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SKILLSSOCIALIZATIONSPEAKINGSPORTSSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT ENROLLMENTSTUDENT POPULATIONSUBJECT TEACHERSSYLLABUSTEACHERTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER RECRUITMENTTEACHER TRAINEESTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER-TRAINING CURRICULUMTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING FORCETEACHING MATERIALSTEACHING PROGRAMSTEACHING STAFFTECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCESTECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONSTECHNOLOGICAL LITERACYTERTIARY EDUCATIONTEXTBOOKTEXTBOOK DEVELOPMENTTEXTBOOK PUBLICATIONTEXTBOOKSTRAINEE TEACHERSTRAINEESTRAINING CENTERSTRAINING COLLEGETRAINING COURSESTRAINING INSTITUTESTRAINING PROGRAMSTRAINING SCHEMESTRAINING SCHOOLSTYPES OF EDUCATIONUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY EDUCATIONUSE OF TEXTBOOKSVERNACULAR SCHOOLSVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL INSTITUTESVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSVOCATIONAL SKILLSVOCATIONAL TECHNICAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL TRAININGYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7375-0
