Singapore has always learnt from other
countries.
Our learning is derived from, in some
countries, studying their work, and, in others, from doing
work there.
An Agenda for Action
United States of America 1980
Cockcroft Report

I think of 1 and 2.
I make 12.
I make 3 from 1 + 2.

Many states in the US introduce probability
earlier. Should we introduce certain
topics earlier? Should we stick to our present scope and sequence? What about statistics given its importance?
We learn as we provide professional
developments in other countries – we now
know some things are tied to culture while
others are culture-free.
