We fondly remember the very first Education Lab event : Education Policy , Motivation and Challenges , where a former student Kwek Jian Qiang (MIA 2021 ) from LKYSPP shared with us his experiences. This online event was the first step in our path to initiate the conversations around Education Policy as a Student Group.

Education Lab was honored to host Cexiang Foo, Senior Deputy Director of Planning at the Singapore Ministry of Education this week. He shared fascinating insights on future directions of the education system - a focus on holistic education, continuing education, and upskilling. Teacher training and the difficulties of education policy implementation were some of the topics discussed. Adding a wealth of experience to the conversation was our wonderful moderator Dr. Gopinathan Saravanan, assistant professor and an education expert at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy.
