Saving this on President Tharman talking about the education too overly academic and not enough emphasis of technical education. He mentioned in an interview at the World Economic Forum.
I feel that here in SG if people don’t feel the system works for them they may go against it not in riot way. but there will be malaise and no incentive to upskill.
I think I wrote about this in another post here
I do feel that some academics is important. But the lack of technical pathways to grow into what academics get which is leadership positions is lacking.
