Local Evidence Syntheses

Local Evidence Syntheses (LES) is a series of publications documenting research from the third tranche (FY2013–FY2017) and fourth tranche (2018–2022) at the Office of Education Research (OER), with a focus on local findings and development. Written in a succinct and informative manner, each volume focuses on a specific theme aimed at informing policy formulation, programme design and pedagogical practice in the education realm in Singapore. This is done through a synthesis of research from key projects undertaken by OER, and the main insights that emerge from them.
All LESs are freely downloadable to ensure open access and wide dissemination.
