Why Singapore has the Smartest kids in the World by Caroline North 9th period

Singapore has grown from being in terrible shape after World War II, to having one of the best economies and the best education system in the world.  As their economy grew at a rapid rate, a world-class education developed nationwide, and school is always the top priority in any Singapore family.   Every last resource is invested in a child’s education in this country and the premiere in schools focus is nourishing and a child’s creativity, and developing their abilities to think independently.  "One thing that's been clear to them is that the world economy no longer rewards people just for what they know. Google knows everything. The world economy rewards people for what they can do with what they know.”  This country has an incredibly successful education system because it encourages an advanced level of thinking and is a top priority across the nation.

I agree with a lot Singapore’s views on education.  This topic is significant to US history because I think as we move toward the future, our country needs advanced education that inspires curiosity in young individuals.  We need the future generations to have the ability to think creatively and at a high level.  Education is going to be the key to the United States’ economic success in the future, so just like in Singapore; education should be a top priority in the US government, every state government, and every family across the nation.  I think the education our generation is receiving today directly impacts our nation’s future.
