Singapore University of Social Sciences Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Symposium on how it is important for teaching to go beyond just the transmission of knowledge.
We must facilitate discovery, inculcate curiosity, and equip learners with the skills and mindset to learn, un-learn and re-learn throughout their lives.
Helping our students be future-ready in a world fraught with change starts with equipping them to frame the challenges of tomorrow, with solutions of the future.
SUSS will be introducing a new curriculum to be implemented from July 2023, which aims to enhance students' employability and education experience.
Students will enjoy more white space for self and peer learning, interdisciplinary subjects, and greater engagement with the curriculum.
I commend SUSS for their pioneering spirit in spearheading new pedagogies to meet Singapore's evolving needs, Congratulations, and I look forward to your future contributions to adult learning!
