Teachers' Day is observed in Singapore every August 31. This holiday celebrates the contributions of educators and is recognized as an official day off for schools. Typically, celebrations occur the day before, allowing students to participate in festive events, including performances to honor their teachers. Education in Singapore is highly regarded, with students achieving top scores in the TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) for Mathematics and Science. The education system is multicultural, with English as the primary language of instruction, alongside the teaching of native languages such as Chinese, Tamil, and Malay. In addition to English and their Mother Tongue, students are required to learn one Humanities and one Science subject.
