Abstract
In recent years, Singapore students have done well consistently in internationally benchmarked tests such as the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), Progress International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) and Progress for International Student Assessment (PISA). This has led to much interest in our education system and speculations on the success factors. The achievement of the Singapore students, just like many other Asian students, has often been attributed to cultural antecedents of parental involvement and overemphasis on competition and grades.
