Lucy Crehan
“If a Western country were to introduce streaming or school selection at such a young age, for example, they may not find that it incentivised all children to work harder and raise their game, as it seems to in Singapore. This is because more people in Western countries believe intelligence is fixed, and would therefore be more likely to assume that failure in tests and allocation to bottom sets was something they had little control over, rather than something they could change through putting in more effort.”
Lucy Crehan, Cleverlands: The secrets behind the success of the world's education superpowers

“There are many others, too, who have tried to make a difference. But what I also notice is that, unfortunately, these people who tried to make a difference didn’t last in the jobs.”
PN Balji, Reluctant Editor: The Singapore Media as Seen through the Eyes of a Veteran Newspaper Journalist
