Singapore students are the world's best in math, science

Four other Asian nations made it to the top 5.

Singapore students have topped a global achievement test conducted by the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).

TIMSS data have been collected from students at grades 4 and 8 since 1995 every 4 years, generally.

The most recent TIMSS data collection was in 2015 and included students in grades 4, 8 and 12. More than 60 countries and other education systems, including the United States, participated in the latest TIMSS.

According to the latest data, 4th-grade and 8th grade students in Singapore achieved the highest average score in Math at 618 and 621, respectively.

They also both topped the Science achievement test with average scores of 590 and 597, respectively.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
