Have you ever wondered how much money goes into Singapore’s education system? On Feb 4, the Today paper published the amount of money requested by various Ministries in Singapore.

$8.7 billion. That’s more than MCYS, MEWR, MOM, MOF, MICA, MFA, MinLaw and PMO (#8 to #15) combined.

Whichever way you look at it, that’s a lot of money and we in education are spending it. Just how accountable are we with the research and teaching that we do?
