Co-Acting Education Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Wednesday (Oct 14) that Singapore’s higher education system must take into account the profound economic and social changes that the world is undergoing.

Touching on the industries, Mr Ong said that a company can no longer be successful just by lowering costs and enlarging its scale of production. It has to be innovative and make its products special to customers.

Mr Ong was speaking at the opening of the OECD- Singapore Conference on Higher Education Futures held at Resorts World Convention Centre on Sentosa.
