Singapore's education system has long been criticised for the emphasis on grades over the learning process. But it looks like the Ministry of Education wants to make a bold statement to counter that.
It just launched a touching commercial based on a true story of a student and her teacher Madam Phua.
The video shows how Phua guided Shirley through a failing grade with Geography lessons. Both student and teacher continue to keep in touch today, according to the ad.
Many Singaporeans on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/moesingapore/videos/10155089999007004) reacted positively to the ad, **ting the ministry's seemingly new uplifting message.
