Singapore is renowned for its education system, which is highly successful, but also rigid and stressful. Singapore-born, Chicago-based documentarian Yong Shu Ling’s “” explores the joy of learning through a young woman’s journey to bring empathy back into classrooms. She introduces a new teaching method aimed at empowering teenagers to overcome negatives, and rekindle a love for learning.
“Meixi’s work and its potential to shift the focus in the classroom towards the joy of learning and away from grades, while also building empathy between students and teachers, all sounded very exciting to me,” said Yong. “Too often, grades are tied to our self-worth and I just think it’s not healthy to grow up that way. Even though I had no idea what the outcome of her work would be, I knew it would be worth documenting because we could all learn something from the journey.
Adding heft to “Unteachable” is producer Lisa Teh, a story editor for preschool television programs at animation company, Omens Studios. Her credits as producer and co-director include 2015’s “Growing Roots,” a television documentary on the growing urban farming culture in Singapore.
