Common Space Series 1: Meritocracy in Singapore's Education System

Participants met others with different life experiences, shared honest opinions and listened to personal stories about meritocracy in our education system - both the good and the bad - in a respectful environment.

​This was an opportunity for students to voice out their concerns about the system which most Singaporean youths go through, and highlight aspects they wished were different about their education.
