This edited book is an invaluable resource for gaining a comprehensive understanding of the history and current state of educational practices in Singapore. Serving as a comprehensive reference guide, it encompasses a wide range of educational topics and concerns within the country. The book is organized into three sections:

Part 1 offers a sectorial overview of the education system in Singapore, covering preschool, special needs, primary, secondary, and adult education divisions. It provides a foundational understanding of the educational landscape.

In Part 2, contributors delve critically into issues and policies that are essential for understanding education in Singapore. They examine topics such as underachievement, leadership, language education, assessment, and meritocracy, challenging assumptions and exploring the complexities of the education system.

Part 3 stands out as the most extensive section, featuring a scholarly examination of specific subject histories. This section is particularly remarkable due to the comparative rarity of its subject matter, including the histories of Physical Education, Art, Music, Geography Education, and more. The contributors provide in-depth insights into the development and evolution of these subjects within Singapore's educational context.

Overall, this edited book offers a wealth of information and insights into education in Singapore, making it an essential resource for educators, policymakers, students, and anyone interested in understanding the country's educational landscape.
