The Future of Education | John Tsang | TEDxTongChongSt

John shared his thoughts on why we need new ways of learning, delivering and acquiring knowledge, as we head into a world of intelligent machines. He wishes everyone of us to rethink the role of teachers, how the curriculum, the assessment and the school should be redesigned; and how public monies should be allocated to enable people to learn continuously throughout their entire life span. Born and raised in Hong Kong, John emigrated to the U.S. when he was a high school student. He studied architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, completed master degrees in Bilingual Education at Boston State College and in Public Administration at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. He taught at the Boston Public Schools.
John returned to work as an Administrative Officer in the Hong Kong Government in 1982. He took up a number of posts related to commerce and finance. He was appointed as Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Secretary for Planning and Lands, Secretary for Commerce, Innovation and Technology, Director of the Chief Executive’s Office and in 2007, Financial Secretary. He was a Chief Executive candidate in 2017.
John is the Founder of Esperanza, a nonprofit organisation; Vice Chairman of Ion Pacific; Senior Advisor of Bowtie, a virtual insurance company; host of a weekly music program on Commercial Radio; and the fencing coach of La Salle College. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
