Ahmad Matinul Haq, Muhammad Sholeh

Abstract


Abstract: This research examines the successful implementation of meritocracy-based educational policies and the professional development of teachers in Singapore. The method used in this research is qualitative based on literature research by collecting information or data from trusted sources, such as journal articles and books. After that, it is analyzed in content, processed briefly and systematically. The research results show that the implementation of meritocracy-based education policies in Singapore has been successful in increasing the quality of learning in the country. This policy ensures that outstanding students are given appropriate recognition and incentives, thereby encouraging them to continue learning, being competitive, and performing high. Not only that, this policy also helps increase accountability and transparency in the learning system. The development of qualified teachers is also a major focus in Singapore's learning policy. Teachers in Singapore are given the opportunity to develop themselves reliably. Teachers are given the opportunity to take 100 hours per year for their professional development (Professional Development / PD). Thus producing a more efficient learning area. Overall, this research shows that meritocracy-based educational policies and teacher professional development in Singapore have been successful in increasing the quality of learning and producing better learning areas. This is what makes Singapore in its education zone very advanced and becomes a reference for other countries to study there, let alone try to imitate its policy system.
