? During World War Two many students in Singapore dropped out of school causing a huge backlog of students after the war in 1947 the Ten Years Programme for Education Policy in the Colony of Singapore was formulated. This called for a universal education system that would prepare for self-governance. During the 1950s and 1960s when Singapore started to develop its own economy Singapore adapted a "survival-driven education" system to provide a skilled workforce for Singapore's industrialisation programme as well to as to lower unemployment. Apart from being an economic necessity education also helped to integrate the new nation together the bilingualism policy in schools was officially introduced in 1960 making English the official language for both national integration and utilitarian purposes. Universal education for children of all races and background started to take shape and more children started to attend schools. However the quality of schools set up during this time varied considerably the first Junior College was opened in 1969. There are two connections to the state of Johor Malaysia In the north there is a causeway for both rail and road traffic which connects to the city of Johor Bahru In the west there is a road bridge (Tuas Second Link) which connects to Johor for road traffic only The connections are an important economic link to Malaysia which can be seen as a hinterland, In addition PISA's international comparisons can be used to justify reforms with which the data themselves have no connection; in Portugal for example PISA data were used to justify new arrangements for teacher assessment (based on inferences that were not justified by the assessments and data themselves); they also fed the government's discourse about the issue of pupils repeating a year (which according to research fails to improve student results) in Finland the country's PISA results (that are in other countries deemed to be excellent) were used by Ministers to promote new policies for 'gifted' students. Such uses and interpretations often assume causal relationships that cannot legitimately be based upon PISA data which would normally require fuller investigation through qualitative in-depth studies and longitudinal surveys based on mixed quantitative and qualitative methods, which politicians are often reluctant to fund.
