This book is a history of Singapore’s world-class education system told through the lens of the life and times of S. Gopinathan.
Singapore education is internationally known as a high quality, high achieving education system. This is often attributed to stringent teacher selection and rigorous preparation through its single teacher preparation institute, the National Institute of Education as part of Nanyang Technological University. In this autobiographical account, Gopinathan shares his contributions and experiences as a teacher educator, over six decades in Singapore and internationally. This includes his time spent learning from other systems and launching research-driven teacher education programmes at the National Institute of Education. This fascinating historical volume gives unique insights into the life and work of S. Gopinathan in the context of the rise of one of the world’s strongest education systems.
A must read for any education historian and any academic of comparative education interested in understanding the success of the Singapore's approach to education.
S. Gopinathan obtained his doctorate in comparative higher education at SUNY Buffalo, United States. He has over six decades of experience as a teacher educator at Singapore's National Institute of Education (NIE), as an adjunct professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, and also partner in the Singapore Education Consulting Group offering educational advice internationally.
