Keeping secondary school teachers abreast of future economic clusters

Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament

Ms See Jinli Jean, Nominated Member of Parliament

Question

To ask the Minister for Education (a) whether the Ministry requires all secondary school educators to be familiarised with the academic and practice pathways to benchmark and emerging careers under the future economic clusters; and (b) if not, whether the Ministry will consider doing so.

Response

1. Our secondary school teachers can learn about trends in career pathways and skills in-demand from Education and Career Guidance (ECG) counsellors in the school. MOE also organises programmes for teachers to engage with industry partners and economic agencies during industry networking sessions to gather insights and knowledge about the future economic clusters.
