"Education? Try building a school and pleasing the mums. Now that's an education!" - Sean Davey
Education today sits at a crossroads.
For generations, we have understood education as the path to a brighter future. But correlation is not causation, and education must now be tailored to the needs of a rapidly changing world.
Across high-income Asian households, education is often the single largest discretionary expense - ahead of housing, food, and even health. It is one of the rare areas where stated priorities and observed behaviour truly align. We know education matters. We know it is everything. Even as we wrestle with findingthe right solutions for our own intractable, wonderfully incongruent children.
And that is the thing about education: every child is unique. The purpose of education is not produce a single type of success, but to help each child function at their highest potential.
