25. Let’s read that quote again:
“In the early 1990s, the teachers really are the
monopoly of knowledge and they are the ones
that comes to class to deliver that knowledge so
that students can acquire them. But today,
knowledge is no more a monopoly among the
teachers because students can get knowledge
from a myriad of sources. Hence the role of the
teacher today is facilitation. You know, that
means facilitate students where they could get
the right knowledge, how they could synthesize
things, how they could discern the information
that they get.”
-Professor Lee Sing Kong, Director, Singapore
National Institute of Education.
