41st SEAMEO Council Conference
21-23 March 2006, Singapore

Policy Forum
Theme: Quality in Education - Responding to National Development Priorities
 
The Policy Forum will discuss how an education system needs to evolve to meet the changing socio-economic needs of a country at different stages of her development. In particular, the Forum can discuss the national priorities at different stages of development and the role of Education in preparing the young to meet the requirements of the national priorities.
 

Singapore will share her experiences in the evolution of her education system from pre-independence years in the late 1950s, to independence and beyond. The presentation will be grouped according to the various phases of Singapore's development, and seek to show how Singapore gradually devolves autonomy to encourage differentiation and nurturing of diverse talents in schools.
