We are starting 2010 with a seminar on the Education system in Singapore.
We will be discussing the following issues:
1.What are the education policies needed to prepare our next generation?
2.How can we make education as the key means of enhancing social mobility and employability of Singaporeans?
3.What are the education plans for Special Need/Disabled Children?
Mr Tan Kin Lian, who is unable to join us, has penned a paper to share his thoughts on the education system. His paper will be circulated during the seminar. Our panel of speakers include Mr Tony Tan, Ms Hazel Poa and Mr Justin Ong. The invited external speaker for the seminar is Mr James Gomez.
