Veteran educators from Singapore will present modules to help local educators and master trainers understand key concepts such as problem-solving skills and scientific inquiry, ultimately working towards inculcating a nationwide movement to achieve an improved and sustained academic performance regionally and internationally. The partnership will also include the introduction of artificial intelligence platform Cerebry, an engine and digital platform for teachers to integrate technology within their classrooms and enhance the learning experiences of the students. Unique questions and solutions are generated on demand, for each individual student.
