Minister of State for Education Jasmin Lau emphasized the importance of equipping students with critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills in the era of artificial intelligence. While these skills are already part of the curriculum, Lau called for a reevaluation of how they are cultivated and assessed. She expressed concerns about the potential decline in human interaction due to increased reliance on AI for answers, noting that traditional conversations between children and adults could diminish. The event, organized by Lianhe Zaobao and supported by Singapore's Ministry of Education, included broader discussions on holistic child development, reducing grade-focused education, and addressing issues like large class sizes and accessibility of extracurricular activities.
