I BELIEVE the sole purpose of education is to enrich one\u2019s life through learning and acquiring new skills, knowledge, values and ethics. To achieve this on a massive scale, educators and policymakers need to work towards developing a learning environment which encourages students to seek fulfilment from learning new things, and not from achieving a certain test score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grades are measures that unwittingly blemish the learning experience and the fulfilment journey. As an employer, we look beyond grades to search for talents who demonstrate qualities that are not examinable \u2013 these include innovative thinking, resilience, tenacity and passion for lifelong learning. These are qualities that will strengthen any organisation to stay relevant and adapt to varying market conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
