From the school being our world to the world being our school.
We have just launched “A World Beyond School” series, where parents, educators and students will gain insights on the diverse work realities and be enriched by learning experiences beyond the school.
Activities to look forward to, include:

April — Facebook ‘live’ panel on Future Beyond Grades, to guide parents on supporting their children to discover their strengths and interests.

July to November — 4-part series "Raising our children for an evolving world" where industry specialists will highlight the work opportunities available in various sectors, and how parents can support their children in developing the values, mindset and competencies to seize new opportunities.
Shared the upcoming series with our Parent Support Groups and educators today, and discussed how we can tap into the diverse strengths of our parents, teachers and industry partners to empower students to thrive in an global environment, with Gan Siow Huang 颜晓芳and Alvin from Singapore Human Resources Institute (SHRI).
Do keep a lookout for upcoming sessions on Parents Gateway and Ministry of Education, Singapore social media platforms.

Keechiu encourages aspiring start-ups to strengthen the talent pipeline.

Not everyone will run start-ups or be entrepreneurs, but having an entrepreneurial spirit is definitely an important trait for our students.
Had a robust discussion with Action Community for Entrepreneurship - ACE members and founders, on promoting entrepreneurship in schools and catalysing growth opportunities for start-ups.
I encourage aspiring start-ups to strengthen the talent pipeline by:
• Partnering with our Institutes of Higher Learning to engage young talent at an early age; and
• Offering sustainable attachments and learning journeys to our educators to help them keep up to date with industry trends.
Through such partnerships, we can continue to support the evolving start-up ecosystem in the global competition for talent.

Nurses are an integral part of our healthcare system. I was in the good hands of two of our nurses in training studying at National University of Singapore, Amir and Adeline.
I learnt more about venipuncture through their demonstrations and got the chance to try it myself. It takes fine motor skills to be able to work with such precise equipment!

When Marcus, Osbert and Sing Yee from Pasir Ris Secondary School saw used cooking oil disposed in their school canteen, it sparked a project to turn the used oil into something useful – soap!
“Our first few rounds were not successful - the soap turned out too oily,” says Marcus. “But we persevered and continued to experiment.”
The end product? Over 50 bottles of liquid soap that were given to teachers and school staff as a Teachers’ Day gift.
Glad to see our students having fun while experimenting and problem-solving. Kudos to them in creating useful products from food waste!

Happy to share that SUTD Singapore University Of Technology And Design inter-disciplinary and design-centric curriculum has equipped our graduates with the necessary skillsets to thrive, as evident from SUTD’s Graduate Employment Survey 2022. Almost 90% of our SUTD graduates have secured full-time permanent employment, with increases in their median monthly salaries compared to 2021.
Heartened that our graduates are actively contributing back to society in their respective careers and are at the forefront of change. SUTD, along with our IHLs, will continue to help our students develop the diverse skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a variety of fields.
Congratulations, SUTD’s Class of 2022! May you continue to excel, and never stop learning!

Even while watching a dance choreography on video, I could sense the energy from the Fuchun Dance.
All students in Fuchun Secondary School get to learn a dance genre like Chinese dance or K-pop during their school assembly as part of their Learning for Life Programme.
At a K-pop dance session, Nasha (photo 2, second from the right) even went on stage to lead the cohort and showed off some dance moves. It’s not easy being in front of an audience and I’m glad that she had an opportunity to grow her confidence!
Thank you to my student guides for the day, Gabriel, Nurin and Poh Yee, who enthusiastically shared their school experiences with me too.

Thank you, The Straits Times for inviting myself, Mdm Irni, Mr Samson Oh, Aleron and Ahmad to join Hairianto in a discussion on moving beyond defining our children by their academic results.
We spoke about something close to my heart - recognising that there are multiple definitions and pathways of success for our children. We must continue to support our students towards achieving their fullest potential, and help them to develop holistically, in both academics and 21st Century Competencies.
I was heartened to hear Mdm Irni, Aleron and Ahmad speak positively about their experiences under Full Subject-Based Banding in their schools. Their sharing also highlighted the important partnership between our teachers and parents in supporting our students.

Keechiu encourages our graduates to have a lifelong curiosity.

Are there jobs after AI? If there are, what would the jobs look like? And what skills do we need to do such jobs?
Technology can bridge gaps in an increasingly fragmented world – but true connections will be built by those with human creativity, empathy and keen judgement.
Had an insightful exchange with Piyush, Melissa and Michael at Singapore Management University’s Employability Symposium today on the lifeskills and qualities our graduates need to thrive in a rapidly changing, AI-enabled future. One of which is the need for graduates to think critically and come up with innovative solutions, which will in turn help to build resilience.
Glad to share that SMU will be launching the Integrated Co-Curricular Management System and formal Co-Curricular Transcript. This is a step in the right direction, and signals to employers that it is the diversity of our graduates’ experiences and skills, beyond academic grades, that set our people apart from the rest.
I encourage our graduates to have a lifelong curiosity - to discover more about the world, ask hard questions, search for deeper answers - and develop the sensitivity needed to navigate different cultures, disciplines and geographical boundaries. These are qualities technology cannot replicate fully.
