SINGAPORE - Students in Singapore are more afraid of failure compared to their 15-year-old counterparts overseas, the results of a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development released on Tuesday showed.

In comparison, the OECD average was slightly more than 50 per cent. Taipei had the highest score of 89 per cent in one of the three statements, while less than half of students in European countries like Montenegro and the Netherlands expressed some fear of failure. "I think we can help more students to view such setbacks as a natural part of learning and growing, and to view them constructively and use them as opportunities for learning and growth. I think this will allow more of them to try new things and be confident of learning from experiences."

Said Mr Sng:"We're always looking out for areas for improvement... and where we think we can do better in is actually encouraging more students to have a growth mindset, and also helping them to see failures constructively.
