As Singapore pushes to foster its future workforce in the age of AI, Digital Minister Josephine Teo discusses the country’s innovative approach to education and up-skilling.
➡️ The government is focusing on both pre-employment training and lifelong learning to ensure workers remain adaptable in the face of rapid technological advancements.
➡️ Highlighting the need for foundational digital skills, Teo says, “We don’t need to do a lot to persuade young people that it's useful to learn coding, even simple things like block coding are not that difficult to pick up.”
➡️ Rather than imposing a top-down approach, Singapore is empowering educators by inviting them to collaborate with industry experts and redesign curricula to meet the needs of a rapidly changing digital economy.
