Education Minister Ng Chee Meng urges students to dare to 'chiong' (Jan 2017)
Excerpts:
"So, how does Singapore create workers who can create value? By nurturing the 'entrepreneurial dare' in young Singaporeans."
"To explain how informal learning can nurture the traits and qualities making up 'entrepreneurial dare', he brings up examples from local schools. One is the so-called 'makerspaces' cropping up in schools which teach design thinking to all students."
"'Never say never. I am optimistic. In another 10, 20 years we may have a Joseph Schooling equivalent of a scientist from A*Star... The thing is, how do we increase the probability of this happening? The way to do it is to keep the academic rigour but build in our students the X-factor - that entrepreneurial dare.'"
