500    "Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board." 
504    Includes bibliographical references. 
520    The first book to explore the development of Singapore's 
       much-talked-about education and examination system, this 
       volume juxtaposes examinations with its immediate context 
       of education and wider context of politics, economy and 
       society. The study covers three broad historical periods: 
       Examinations in Singapore from 1891 to 1945; The Post-War 
       Years from 1946 to the 1970s; and Charting Our Destiny 
       from the 1980s to 2007. In the British period up to 1941, 
       the local examinations were conducted by the vernacular 
       schools, and external examinations by the University of 
       Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate. There was a lack 
       of systematic effort to establish a uniform system of 
       education and examinations. During the Japanese Occupation,
       examinations were conducted by the Japanese authorities 
       and, unexpectedly, the Cambridge examinations continued in
       the Sime Road Camp. In the post-war period and 
       particularly after Singapore was granted self-government, 
       the establishment of a national education system was 
       followed by the emergence of national examinations: the 
       Primary School Leaving Examinations and the Singapore-
       Cambridge GCE N/O/A Levels for every school-going child in
       Singapore. Thereafter, the nature of national examinations
       evolved with the changing needs of education and the 
       nation. At the turn of the century, with the Ministry of 
       Education's decision to take greater control of 
       examinations, the Singapore Examinations and Assessment 
       Board was established, to oversee new developments in 
       examinations. Unlike most literature on education where 
       examinations are often mentioned as an outcome of 
       educational goals and objectives, this book focuses on 
       examinations per se. Examinations have gained a momentum 
       of their own, and it is interesting to note the 
       development of examinations against the backdrop of the 
       broader history of Singapore and of education in 
       Singapore.
