When school's out, but class may go on

1. What was the most noteworthy thing that happenedthis week?

The Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) this week published a study that is likely to prompt questions of a class divide in Singapore. The study examined network diversity, and in measuring social capital, it sought to understand the nature of respondents' social-support networks, by asking who they discussed important matters - such as those related to money, emotional and mental health - with.

IPS found that respondents were not likely to have named a diverse network across two particular types of social backgrounds: educational status and housing.
