## Resource

A recent graduation at Ascot Primary School exposed a deeper crisis in our education system: are we really measuring real learning—or just surface-level prestige? With alarming gaps between years of schooling and actual mastery, students deemed “proficient” in primary school are faltering in secondary reading comprehension. The solution? Shift to “value-added” metrics that track true academic growth, not just test scores. It’s time for schools and the Ministry of Education to take responsibility—and spark a national reckoning on literacy, accountability, and long-term national productivity.
