In this episode we explore the evolution of Singapore’s highly successful public education system over the last several decades and Edmund, who has been right there in the trenches, shares incredible insights into the wisdom and commitment shown by the government to promote innovation in education.

The Education Innovators Podcast is a weekly conversation between Eric Byron and guests from all aspects of education around the world. We look for innovative ideas and practical examples of things happening in schools and learning environments that are of interest to teachers, corporate trainers, school administrators, EdTech providers, students, parents, and anyone else interested in education.
