The Straits Times Education Forum in partnership with SMU, Friday, 5 Feb 2021, 10am – 11.15am (GMT+8)
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us at The Straits Times (ST) Education Forum in partnership with Singapore Management University (SMU), to be held virtually for the first time on Friday, 5 February 2021 from 10am to 11.15am (GMT+8).
SMU is delighted to be the higher education partner once again, following the successful past events hosted at SMU. (Please see an article on the 2020 Forum here.)
The impact of Covid-19 has been dramatic and transformative on education systems around the world. In the higher education sector, Covid-19 has caused institutions to challenge deep-rooted notions of when, where, and how they deliver education, of the role of universities and the distinction we draw between traditional and non-traditional students. So, how are universities rethinking the basic purposes of education, and the pedagogic models better suited for the ever-present possibilities of insecurity, risk, and relentless change?
The ST Education Forum 2021 on Reimagining Universities, Post-Covid, will examine the ripple effects of the coronavirus pandemic on higher education and the changes that it will forge.
Come listen to Education Minister Lawrence Wong, SMU President Lily Kong and ST’s senior education correspondent Sandra Davie discuss the changes to come.
The webinar will be moderated by Lydia Lim, head of SPH Schools and Education.
A question-and-answer session will follow – we strongly encourage participants to join the dialogue and send in your questions ahead of the Forum to https://str.sg/JDxs.
As this is a by-invitation-only complimentary event and we have limited virtual seats on a first-come-first-served basis, we would encourage you and participants from your school to register promptly to avoid disappointment. Please share this invitation with your other colleagues, students and their parents. Sign up at: https://str.sg/JDxs by 29 Jan, 6pm.
