    Is Success More Than Grades? | Let’s Table It Ep 4

    Good grades. The “right” school. A good career. Is this still the formula for success in Singapore? As parents, we all want the best for our children. But in a world where AI is changing the way we learn and work, how do we prepare our children so they can thrive in life? In this episode of Let’s Table It, Ms Liew Wei Li, Director-General of Education at Ministry of Education and Prab Nathan, parent and former teacher-turned influencer, join us to explore what success really means for our children, the pressures facing parents and students, and how we can rethink success with our children, so every child can find their own path. We tackle some questions that many Singaporean parents are asking: Is every school really a good school? Have our policy shifts really helped to alleviate pressure? How can we nurture our child’s strengths and interests, while keeping up with academic expectations? With AI changing how we learn, which skills will matter most? Why is learning to deal with setbacks as important as achieving success?  From navigating parental expectations to helping children build resilience, we look at how parents and educators can work together so our children can thrive – in school and beyond.  #govsgLetsTableIt -- 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:05:38 - Is every school really a good school? 00:11:38 - Have our policy shifts really helped to alleviate pressure? 00:19:19 - How can we nurture our child’s strengths and interests, while keeping up with academic expectations? 00:23:16 - With AI changing how we learn, which skills will matter most? 00:28:37 - Why is learning to deal with setbacks as important as achieving success?
