It is a story not of the glory of international test results, but of the hard work and tenacity of a few generations of policy makers, practitioners, and teacher trainers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its success, Singapore continues to reform its education system, and is willing to deal with difficult issues and challenges of change.
