Summary This book examines connections between policy contexts, school experiences and everyday activities of children growing up in the global city of Singapore. In particular, it explores how Singapore children⁰́₉s everyday experiences inside and outside of school shape their orientations towards educational success. Alongside an analysis of school life and educational policies, it also considers children⁰́₉s out-of-school activities, including leisure, homework, and enrichment activities, and connections between these and their school-based activities. The book draws on empirical data from Primary 4 classes in two Singapore schools in the form of student-completed surveys, classroom ethnographies, student responses to a learning dialogues activity, and a re-enactment of one child's out-of-school life, as well as curriculum and policy analysis. It provides readers with an in-depth understanding of Singapore Primary 4 children⁰́₉s experiences inside and outside of school, including the structure of timetables and pedagogical approaches encountered in school lessons, children⁰́₉s enjoyment of activities inside and outside of school, children⁰́₉s engagement and wellbeing at school, and the impact of Singapore⁰́₉s educational policies on children⁰́₉s learning experiences. Moving beyond a simplistic focus on Singapore children⁰́₉s academic performance in international high-stakes testing, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of their lives inside and outside of school. This holistic approach is unique in the Singapore context and contributes to a greater understanding of children⁰́₉s everyday lives in the city.
