Key Challenges of the Singapore PSLE System
The Singapore PSLE system faces challenges including high stress, a focus on academic excellence at the expense of holistic development, financial strain from additional tuition, and pressure on educators. Addressing these issues is complex, requiring balanced reforms and there is no easy solution. Parents can help by providing emotional support, encouraging a balanced lifestyle, setting realistic expectations, staying involved in their child's learning, managing financial stress, seeking targeted academic help if needed, and promoting a range of interests beyond academics.

The Birth of Essential Education
We were motivated to start Essential Education to provide an efficient method to excel academically with minimal stress and time. This approach frees them to pursue arts, music, sports, and enjoy life, while easing financial pressures on families. We want to foster well-rounded, happy, and successful individuals.
