Tan Eng Chye, president of the National University of Singapore, told CNBC that he foresees a return to pre-coronavirus learning.
“No, I don’t see things going in (a) the pre-Covid-19 period,” Tan told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” on Monday, while explaining the three-pointed technique to college to prevent coronavirus outbreaks on their campuses.
The “lockdown” was the first of those strategies, dividing the 3 university campuses into five autonomous zones. Staff and academics are to remain in their designated area.
“Decongestion” is the time for the methods of NUS, a hybrid of virtual and in-person physical learning to minimize the density of others on their campuses, with a “business continuity plan” for paintings in college. So said this had reduced the number of other people on the site to no more than three-fifths of total capacity.
Third, the university has implemented tactile studies and detection, with a tradition of “Safe NUS Application” that complements the zoning strategy through reminders and students to stay in their assigned area. The app is needed to address campus transfers, attend categories, and purchase food. as well as using services such as university libraries and sports complexes.
In addition, NUS is sewage from its apartments and schools for students by coronavirus.
So he stated that he believed that the use of hybrid learning created a “pleasant environment” and hoped that the university would probably attach to this mode of painting for “some time. “
He said college was looking to improve virtual learning. “The general concept is actually how to complement virtual learning with face-to-face courses, which are essential, especially if greater artistic engagement is desired among groups. “Added.

The pandemic has not led the university to reconsider the way it teaches students, but also what it teaches them, so it actively promoted greater interdisciplinarity, adding the creation of a school of humanities.
The employment crisis generated by the pandemic has also affected the location of opportunities for progression or requalification even after officially completing their studies.
In 2018, THE NUS introduced a lifelong learning program for academics and alum students. The university made enrollment valid for 20 years, from the time of admission to the bachelor’s degree, so that existing and previous academics can only the university’s schooling courses.
In discussing this at CNBC, Tan explained that there were also no preconditions for reading a safe course as a component of this initiative. For example, a law graduate may take a computer science course, he said. There are more than 700 courses available, under this initiative.
NUS ranked 11th in the world’s most productive university on Quacquarelli Symonds’ list of analysts and global business education experts for 2020 and 2021.
