Singapore moved away from its earlier one-size-fits-all approach to schooling to create multiple pathways for students in order to reduce the drop-out rate, improve quality and produce the more technically-skilled labour force needed to achieve the new economic goals. Streaming (tracking) based on academic ability was introduced, starting in elementary schools [\u2026] While streaming was unpopular when it was introduced, drop-out rates did, in fact, decline significantly: by 1986, only 6&nbsp;% of students were leaving school with fewer than 10 years of education. The range of efforts to raise standards also yielded results: performance in the O-level English examinations went from a 60&nbsp;% failure rate to a 90&nbsp;% pass rate by 1984, and by 1995 Singapore led the world in mathematics and science on TIMSS.\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana', sans-serif;\">OECD (Hrsg.), \u201eLessons from PISA for Korea\u201c (2014), S.&nbsp;135f<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201eIn January 1979, a new education system was introduced.
