Masterclass 2: Liberalism & Education

“Education is the most powerful tool to change the world” – Nelson Mandela

In an ideal world, every child would have access to quality education and the education system would produce literate and informed citizens, who would be well prepared for adult life. For the majority of Malaysians however, the reality is far from that.

This masterclass will seek to address the problems in our current education system, which is primarily state directed and one where parents have a limited role in determining their children’s educational needs. It will also examine alternative means of organizing the education system, and the effect that this would have on student outcomes.

Masterclass 3: Liberalism & Economic Development

Do government rules and regulations stifle economic development? What role can the government play in fostering stable economic growth over time?

How does the implementation of policies inspired by classical liberal values like protection of private property, limited state intervention and market freedom facilitate competition, innovation and progress?

This Masterclass will address these questions by providing a thorough and fascinating look into the history, philosophical roots, and modern day applications of the values and policies which are grounded in classical liberal ideology.
