Singapore students may have scored brilliantly in PICA but there are clear and obvious weaknesses in the Singapore Education System.
These are:
1. Graduates from the Singapore Education System are very poor in communication skills especially oral and conversational skills. This has been very clear from interviews, be it for jobs or scholarship. Perfect academic results but cannot even clearly answer simple questions or conduct a decent conversation.
2. They also lack the Skills for living. Perfect academic result but cannot even cook an instant noodle, fold a blanket. This is the reality. The focus on academic results have led to many Singapore Students losing their ordinary living skills. They have forgotten how to be a normal human being. They are more like robots.
3. They lack social skills. Many just don't know how to handle themselves in a social gathering or setting. They lack the social graces, simple human decency like politeness. They lack humane values.
