Abstract: The purpose of the study is to explore and compare the school science curricula in India and Singapore. Using qualitative data analysis and a comparative research approach, the study identifies key differences between the two education systems. A major distinction is that India’s curriculum has traditionally emphasized rote learning, whereas Singapore’s curriculum fosters creativity and critical thinking. In response to this gap, India introduced the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to address these shortcomings. This research offers a comparative analysis of the science curricula in both countries, providing insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each system. Notably, no existing literature conducted a similar comparative study, reflecting the originality and significance of this research.
