Singapore !Madam Low Khah Gek, Ministry of Education's Deputy Director-General, Education (Schools), said: "There is no specific subject called problem solving.!!"Across the different subjects, the teachers take an approach where active learning opportunities are provided for students.!!"So they may be involved in exploring, investigating, experimenting, and teachers give them opportunities to actually develop their ideas, come up with their own hypothesis.!!Mrs Ong Hong Peng, Principal of Xinmin Secondary, said: !"We feel very heartened, because besides teaching in the various subject disciplines, I think our teachers are also teaching other skills that may not be tested in the exam in a very direct manner.!
