Making sense of changing landscape of jobs, education

The Straits Times (ST), in partnership with SMU, is organising The Straits Times Education Forum, which focuses on the future of jobs, skills and higher education, on June 25. There will be a panel discussion featuring Acting Education Minister (Higher Education and Skills) Mr Ong Ye Kung, SMU President Professor Arnoud De Meyer and ST senior education correspondent Sandra Davie, as well as a keynote address by Mr Ong.  Professor De Meyer said SMU is keen to share, learn and exchange new ideas at the forum. "In today's changing economy, we will see career pathways becoming more dynamic and less predictable... What is critical for Singapore's graduates would be to have competencies in various areas," he noted.
