Chee may be right but what’s next?

Look at Joe Biden, the failure of education and learning?

Chee Soon Juan may be right about Singapore education not preparing our children for future challenges.  And we cannot expect the current government to initiate changes that the status quo is the best option for the PAP. 

Not sure whether Chee is suggesting the American education system for Singapore.  If you look at Joe Biden and his team of young and old advisors, is the Biden Administration ready and able to cope with current and future challenges? 

Obviously it is not. You may disagree but it looks very likely the US will lose her single super power status during his presidency.

It looks like his team has very little future views, from IT, AI, 6G, supply chains, to geopolitics, history, culture and religions.  What they do is very short sighted, like the sudden withdrawal from Afghanistan, lack of exit arrangement in Suden, ineffective sanctions, and many unsolved domestic problems that make American dreams no more.

Not suggesting no change but what change, what types of changes needed.  The American experience shows it is not working well despite having a huge talent pool.  Smart and dedicated people cannot serve the country at their best!

The PAP knows they cannot maintain, sustain the approach of ‘dumbing down’ Singaporeans. Dumbing down only works when you can provide some goodies like affordable housing, jobs, cars, healthcare.  

Yijing has three meanings of ‘yi’.  When you look at ‘yi’ like a book of change, you only know ‘change’. In fact, the other two meanings are ‘unchanged’ and ‘simplification’.  

Our children need to know the unchanged things of history, culture, religion and the founding principles. They also need to simplify the information overflown and digital overload.  So that they can see a clearer world!  What needs to change and what doesn't.
