More appropriate adjectives would be "calculative" or "stingy". Quality of education can be greatly improved by reducing class sizes, not closing schools, cutting recruitment or processing resignations quickly.

Things are not as simple as we comprehend. There are a lot of dots needed to be connected to realize your above suggestions.
When you reduce class sizes, you need to consider the allocation of resource e.g. classrooms and facilities. Then you also have to consider beyond MOE, the inter-ministries' works e.g. urban planning and economic progression for the Nation. There are National imperatives to be weighed.
Blame on the declining birth rate. If you compare to the 80s and 90s, the educational landscapes back then were much simpler as we had sufficient kids to maintain the scale of operation. At least, MOE is not embarking on any retrenchment drives.
As an educator, we need to look at the situation objectively.
However, I acknowledge that MOE should look more intentionally into the mental-wellness of the teachers. Works can be all-around and daunting at times and the working pace appears to be moving faster with all the new approaches e.g. E-Pedagogy and regulations stacking up.
We need to continue streamlining the processes and if need be, revamp certain structures to support the teachers to move ahead.
Jiayou my fellow educators!
