Singapore has achieved much in the area of philanthropy, with countries like China seeing it as a role model. There is of course room still for development and improvement. World Future Foundation Managing Director Lu Bo listed “Developing specialised studies, grooming talent” as one of the ways in which Singapore's philanthropic efforts can reach greater heights. He noted that currently, only NUS offers a bachelor's degree in social work, while the NUS Business School recently offered some relevant modules. There are neither undergraduate-level studies related to philanthropy and social enterprise, nor master's studies and PhDs in this field. However, SMU, NUS and NTU now have one new research centre each in this field.
