No, Singapore's education does not prepare us for the future:

-Education system tends to largely run on academic achievements (tendency to disregard other abilities in other areas like art/music; not given enough attention for development)
-Skills prepped for the future usually exclusive to people with good grades/results (e.g top 25%) = remaining population unable to access these opportunities (give disadvantage)
- Exam-oriented
-Restrictions to creative thinking (primarily doing tests, quizzes that are based on memorization/recalling/content-based that is not relevant in the future)
-More emphasis on Maths/Science subjects (Arts & related subs tend to be looked down upon)
-SG Edu syst does not prepare us mentally/psychologically for the future (unpredictable)]]> 2016-09-21 00:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/teng_shumin/bray8ruyck2r/wish/125261522 ong_jingkai https://padlet.com/teng_shumin/bray8ruyck2r/wish/125261653 Yes. 
-Singapore's education teaches us on how to be an independent learner. Being independent also teaches us the skill of being responsibility, individually as well as in a group. ( working environment in the future, good rapport with colleagues and boss)
- Also gives us a basic context on how society in Singapore works (Social studies)
- Values learned in school --> develop us into a all rounded person in the future ( good academics + character) For example, through CCE program.

No.
- Education system may be too rigid. Schools in Singapore might have a more academic-based system and students may be given little opportunity to be creative

Challenging Education system-->Requires high level of thinking--->Trains the mind to think on a higher level---->Mental capacity and intelligence increases--->able to tackle difficult situations faced in the future (eg. Problem solving in their workplace, Able to handle stressful conditons)


Emphasis is also placed on technical subjects-->students able to pick up life skills(eg. Home econs and D&T)---> Reduces dependency on others hence promoting self sufficient
