Education Minister Chan Chun Sing questions need to eliminate PSLE, says changing mindsets more critical

He believed that Singapore the "best chance in history" to "break the public education trilemma" of quality, skill, and affordability.

Education Minister Chan Chun Sing questioned the value and viability of eliminating "high stakes" examinations such as the PSLE or the introduction of ten-year through-train schools.

He said that while the Ministry of Education was "open to considering new ideas", the proposals did not address fundamental concerns that went beyond that of the school system.
