Singapore Leads Global Creative Thinking Assessment for 15-Year-Olds

Despite top rankings, Singaporean students remain modest about their creative abilities, contrasting with peers in other regions.

Singaporean students outperformed 63 other jurisdictions in the PISA 2022 creative thinking assessment.
Approximately 60% of Singapore participants were top performers, significantly higher than the OECD average of 27%.
Hong Kong students scored below average in creative thinking but ranked high in educational equity.
The assessment highlighted the need for Hong Kong to foster more open-mindedness and creativity in classrooms.
Singapore's Ministry of Education plans to use the findings to further enhance curriculum and teaching methods.
