Math titles that marry decent quality with affordability—authors must be racially, religiously, and sexually sensitive, while the Ministry of Education (MOE) controls the price of the books.
Because Singapore math books cost a fraction of their American counterparts, US distributors have been importing them for homeschoolers, who think they're getting value-for-money textbooks—a number of them might even mistake Singapore for a city in China.

Get the Mexican Chair Swinger mug.Short for fourth generation math syllabus change in Singapore, since the Y2K bug. The Ministry of Education (MOE) is reverting to its old ways of controllably and uncompetitively writing its own elementary math content, instead of outsourcing the task to publishers.
Singapore’s MOE’s rationale to have an open tender in the late nineties was to allow the public to have a choice of “quality” textbooks from both local and foreign publishers, but with 4G Singapore math unfolding, teachers and parents will soon be left with zero choices.
