Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 5: Denise Phua on future-ready education for all
There are three barriers that can hinder the Ministry of Education’s vision of building a future-ready education system for all, said MP Denise Phua in parliament on Thursday (Mar 6). She asked how the ministry can shift mindsets to value diverse pathways to success and prioritise lifelong learning. Second, how to ensure that our learners become originators of ideas and not just consumers, and how to avoid undermining the development of critical and creative thinking skills. Finally, she wanted to see better support for students with special needs and asked how gaps are being addressed.
