Singapore's 21st Century Teaching Strategies

When will India be ready to accept this?

Today Edutopia in partnership with Pearson released the Education Everywhere video series focusing Singapore, this time. These details were stated:

Singapore Fast Facts

• When Singapore gained its independence in 1965, most of its population of two million people were unskilled and illiterate.
• The government invested in education, and by the early 1970s, all children had access to lower secondary education.
• In 2009, the first year Singapore participated in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) tests, they placed near the top for all tested subjects: fifth for reading, second for mathematics, and fourth for science. See all 2009 PISA scores.
• Teaching is a highly-respected and well-compensated profession in Singapore. All teachers are trained at the country's National Institute of Education (NIE).
• All new teachers are paired with experienced teachers for mentoring, and peer feedback is built into the schedule.
• Teachers are entitled to 100 low or no-cost hours of professional development each year.
• There are approximately 522,000 students attending about 350 schools in Singapore's education system.
• Class sizes are large, especially at the secondary level, averaging 36 students per class.

 It also had the following video showing how tools such as twitter and facebook are  used on a regular basis in the classrooms of Ngee Ann Secondary School, one of the country's seven 'Future Schools'.

The video shows how 40 students in a class can ask different questions using twitter , all at the same time to the teacher. They can even vote for the right answer using a mobile phone.

Do such statistics not affect any educator who sees this video? Will India be ever a part of this series?
