Meritocracy is a key principle in the Singapore education system. Throughout our lives, we are always told that if we work hard, we will achieve success later in life. But, is this truly the case? 🤔 Join us in our first collaboration with NTUSS and explore whether education is truly an equaliser in modern day Singapore. 🧐
Through this forum, you will be given the opportunity to engage in lively discussions surrounding the topic of Meritocracy and ask questions to our esteemed guest speakers, Dr Wan Rizal and Dr Kenneth Paul Tan. Dr Wan Rizal is currently an elected Member of Parliament for the Jalan Besar GRC. In his political endeavours, he has placed much emphasis on social mobility through education. Dr Kenneth Paul Tan, a Professor at the Hong Kong Baptist University. In his research, Dr Tan has critically dissected the role of meritocracy in Singapore society, and its possible implications on social mobility and inequality. ⚖️
