Toward a Better Future : Education and Training for Economic Development in Singapore since 1965
The Singapore economy has undergone significant stages of development since the 1960s. 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.

| description |
The Singapore economy has undergone
significant stages of development since the 1960s. 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. 2012-05-25T17:09:32Z 2012-05-25T17:09:32Z 2008 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2008/01/9484338/toward-better-future-education-training-economic-development-singapore-1965 978-0-8213-7375-0 https://hdl.handle.net/10986/6432 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank application/pdf text/plain application/pdf application/pdf text/plain Washington, DC : World Bank |
