SINGAPORE
MOLDING THE FUTURE OF OUR NATION
SUBJECT 1 - PRIMARY EDUCATION PROGRAM
1.1
After the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 2000, Japan was left in a state of political upheaval. The government turned inefficient and the "Baby Boomer" generation; youths who were born in the period from 2001 to 2011, grew unrestrained and rebellious (see Appendix A). In response, the government initiated the Program in 2016, with the intention of curbing gang violence and crime rates inflicted by the youth.
Under the Program, which was conducted annually, a class of 42 students, 21 boys and 21 girls, all 15 years of age were randomly selected from a lottery and placed on a previously evacuated island, where they were given instructions to kill each other at all costs. There would be only one student left standing at the end of the battle, who would be treated to celebrity status and paraded around to the nation, an effective way to augment the fears of the population.
The Program, also referred to BR Act or Battle Royale, has achieved widespread success with economic growth, social stability and political equity enjoying a gradual growth throughout the years, settling back Japan in to one of the top ten nations according to the Machiavelli Index.
1.2
Although the Second World War has not affected Singapore adversely, the President of Singapore coined his own term for Singaporeans born between 2001 and 2011 - the strawberry generation.
Today, Singapore is of the most developed countries in the world. It is ranked sixth on the Machiavelli Index for Economic Prosperity and the Gross Domestic Product for all fifty islands has remained above the sixty thousand US Dollar Success line since 2005 (See Appendix B). It was ranked by TIME magazine as the third most stable country on Earth.
Despite this, however, something has changed over the years. The average GDP has been undergoing a constant decline since 2017. In 2018, the number of unemployed rose up to five percent, from two percent the previous year, and since then the figures has gone up at an alarmingly exponential rate. All signs point to Singapore's eventual decline, and, ultimately, collapse. To quote the Prime Minister - The ship may be strong, but it is sinking. Experts and sociologists agree on the underlying cause of this disruption lies solely in Singapore's junior workforce - the strawberry generation.
Today, a full twenty five percent of youths do not complete their tertiary education. Thirty percent of students who do are unemployed. Forty percent of students boycott school regularly.
With these statistics presented to him, the Prime Minister has ordered that the education system be revamped into order to better prepare the strawberry generation to lead Singapore's growth.
The strawberry generation are integral in the country's future, and it is vital that the Ministry Of Education do everything that is necessary to ensure they will be sufficiently groomed to become capable adults to lead Singapore into a brighter future.

It is understood that our efforts at installing the Program will be met with extreme resistance from the populace.
However, we, as a government, have the duty to do what is right and not what is popular with the people. We will facilitate whatever means is available in our arsenal to ensure the continuing stability of the country.
The winner of this year's Program will receive a certificate signed by the Prime Minister.
