Like many other issues concerning the country, his ideas for education were transported in a red box, which he took with him wherever he went, even up to his last days. Inside it was always something designed to help create a better life for all Singaporeans. The editors of this volume were inspired by the idea of Mr Lee?s red box and by the Founding Father?s selfless drive to continuously improve the country he loved. As such, the book explores in detail Mr Lee?s plans, including chapters on Education: The Man and His Ideas; Foundational Pillars of Singapore?s Education; Education for Nationhood and Nation-Building; and 21st Century Readiness and Adaptability. The chapters also include the authors? visions, no matter how great or small, for the future of education in Singapore. They explore how Mr Lee?s educational policiesresulted in a system that attracts the right and best candidates to become teachers; that forms them into effective teachers, specialists and leaders; that ensures they and the education system are able to deliver the best possible learning for every child; and that establishes a legacy that has allowed the education system to continue to move forward while tackling the challenges of its success. From the little red box came the ideas that led to the country?s meteoric rise. Likewise, the editors hope this book will lead to a brighter future in education. 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 606 $aOrganization and Leadership 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 14$aInternational and Comparative Education. 615 24$aOrganization and Leadership. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 676 $a370.116 676 $a370.9 702 $aTan$b Oon Seng$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLow$b Ee Ling$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHung$b David$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255101603321 996 $aLee Kuan Yew?s Educational Legacy$92536561 997 $aUNINA
