Teach less, learn more

TLLM - a call to action, adopted by the Singapore Ministry of Education: 

  • It aims to touch the hearts and engage the minds of our learners, to prepare them for life. It reaches into the core of education - why we teach, what we teach and how we teach.
  • It is about shifting the focus from “quantity” to “quality” in education. “More quality” in terms of classroom interaction, opportunities for expression, the learning of life-long skills and the building of character through innovative and effective teaching approaches and strategies.
  • “Less quantity” in terms of rote-learning, repetitive tests, and following prescribed answers and set formulae. Teachers, school leaders and MOE all have important roles to play to make Teach Less, Learn More happen
