Local Evidence Syntheses

LES Cover

The Local Evidence Syntheses (LES) series documents research from previous years of the Education Research Funding Programme (ERFP). With a focus on local findings and development, each topical synthesis typically draws on findings from research completed in the previous 5 years. Written in a succinct and informative manner, each volume is aimed at informing policy formation, programme design and pedagogical practice in the education realm in Singapore through summarizing findings, deriving themes, and suggesting recommendations.

All LESs are freely downloadable to ensure open access and wide dissemination.
