In Asia, we are witnessing an era where the pendulum of power seems
to be swaying towards the East with the rising strength of China
and India and Singapore is at the 'crossroads' between these
populous nations. Although Singapore may appear to be the most
westernized country in Asia, she is nevertheless a multi-cultural
Asian society. Having the most open economy in the world, Singapore
is plugged into the global marketplace of education and learning.
The development of human capital is used as a strategic economic
driver to internationalize and transform education for sustainable
competitive advantage. Singapore's education system, regarded as
one of the consistently best performing in the world, offers a
unique opportunity to explore issues where eastern and western
culture, values, beliefs, learning and knowledge systems converge,
clash, and at times diverge.This book is meant to extend our
knowledge on the role of 'learning', often overlooked and taken for
granted as the air that we breathe but which constantly transforms
our lives and reshapes societies. It is the first book that deals
with the dichotomy of 'east' and 'west' going beyond the
traditional learning and education framework to other areas such as
economic, socio-cultural, political, and technological dimensions
that impact Singapore. It puts together key topical issues and
explores the underbelly of how a small 'resourceless' independent
city-state like Singapore stays ahead of the learning curve, even
while facing increasingly intense global competition where the
discovery and emergence of new systems for empowerment and
independence and the resulting creation of new knowledge and modes
of communication are challenging traditional boundaries between the
virtual and real world.
