From Rowdy Student to Politician: Jamus Lim on Singapore’s Education Syste

Описание: Jamus Lim, Politician and Educator, Speaks Out About the Cut-Throat Education System in Singapore

Known for warming the cockles of many Singaporeans' heart, I am joined by none other than Jamus Lim, an esteemed Associate Professor of Economics at Essec Business School (French) and a prominent member of the Workers' Party, Jamus Lim.

In this episode, Jamus and I embark on a thought-provoking discussion on Singapore's education system. We delve into whether it has truly been a catalyst for positive change or has brought about challenges for students.

"One of my teachers decided that I was less disruptive if he put me in the trash bin." - Jamus Lim

Our insightful conversation sheds light on our different educational backgrounds; while Jamus navigated the rough waters of a rebellious youth, I often found myself yearning for a more challenging academic environment.

"The way my parents reared me made me a tiger mom. However, the Singapore school system transformed me into a more tamed Tiger Mom," - Paige
