Our education system produces learned students. Local students routinely win international Math and Science Olympiads.

I disagree. I certainly defy that notion.
I suppose the essay doesn't really bring out your full personality. I'm not sure about the formal style though - I wrote my essays with a slightly more personal tone.
As a side note, although I think that the humanities in Singapore lack that something at tertiary level, it does better at the lower levels. For secondary school students, CAP is excellent; in JC the Humanities Program caters for many talented students. In general though, we treat literature exactly the way Philip Pullman describes the teaching in the UK.
