Which has confirmed my long time suspicion that PAP pushes people into different levels of the social pyramid so as to "maintain the balance" of society.If y...

good? wat good is it if majority of us cant even AFFORD a roof over our heads? check the HDB prices, kiddo. think u or ur kids next time can afford it? wake up. unless u and ur kids were born with a damn GOLD spoon in ur mouths, life in singapore gonna be hell for u. i think i speak for majority of the singaporean forumers here when i say this: WHO can afford to live here?

No, you dont speak for the majority of singaporean.

While your concern about affordability of HDB for the next generation is worthy of attention and action, the majority of Singaporean are living in HDB NOW!

so stay with your parents if you must! If you are the only child in the family, the HDB flat your parents live, where you were born and brought up would be yours, until the lease expire. And if your wife is also the only child, then in time to come, you have 2 HDB flats to inherit.

How Cheryl Chan, a merely director within MOE is able to leapfrog from a govt bureaucrat to a national futurist?

How she knows or able to predict that in the future, sometime 20 to 30 down the road, the workforce still the current status quo of minting 20 to 25 percentage graduates per cohort?

People of Singapore do you still remember the stop-at-two-births policy under CKS?

Wait, do you really need that many graduates? Then who's going to do all the other jobs?

Already, the emphasis on graduates is a system harking back to the past colonial.

My question is not one asking for more or less graduates!

My question is "How one is able to tell 20 to 30 yrs down the road, the job demand or the job scope is as predicted now?"

Noboby predicted 20 to 30 years ago that one can make a career out of online gaming now then.

So why the straightjacket way planning for 20 to 25 % graduates per cohort for a timeframe which 20 to 30 yrs from now?

We obviously hope the next gen would get better, hopefully most would go to uni..

But it also exposes for itself why there's forever foreign worker unknowingly, so who's going to drive the buses, who's going to be i/c of our food supplies imports...

Everyone wants to do executive position... Then bottom who do?

Sometimes the people who whacks abt foreign workers or whatever, didn't realise abt this question over education. It's co-related.

Well, maybe I am wrong - things may not change that much afterall. Status quo may not be a bad thing afterall. But we living in a period of fastest technology change in history of mankind - changing faster and faster with time.

I have read an interesting article about predicting future jobs or rather future job titles and description that are non existence now. Wonder anyone read that article before?

This set me thinking about putting future things in perpective when things are actually setting in motion or about to set in motion.
