As part of the Future-Ready Series hosted by IPG Howden and The Peak, The Winstedt School’s Founder & Chair, Ms Sharon Solomon, was invited to a round-table discussion that reimagines the future of education in Singapore.
“I don’t believe any neurodiverse child who learns differently should have to agonise over systems that do not cater to his or her abilities only to end up settling for a mediocre existence”
Sharon Solomon
Recalling how her self-esteem was eroded during her school days, Ms Sharon Solomon shared her hopes that the Winstedt Way™ may influence public policy and ultimately change the face of education.
The group of educators, which included Mr Jamus Lim (a politician, economist, and associate professor at ESSEC Business School), came from various disciplines of education and engaged in a stimulating conversation. The discussion moved from “shortcomings in our early childhood education, to gaps in identifying neurodiverse thinkers and nonstandard learners, to how well we are catering to the underprivileged, to how we can foster genuine creativity and excellence” in a scalable way.
Thank you The Peak for the insightful session and feature!
