| − | The Ministry of Education (MOE) collects and analyses data from schools through Singapore to continually improve on their policies and practices in Education which they set for schools in Singapore. However, most of the data from MOE are not publicly available for research and analysis for people who are not working inside MOE. With that limitation, it is hard to gain insights about education in Singapore to make improvements or suggestions to the education system. An alternative for this is through the publicly available data collected by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) through the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) global education survey.
