LKY School of Public Policy The
LKYSPP (Lee Kuan Yew
School of Public Policy)
was established in 2004 with the mission of educating and training the next
generation of Asian policymakers and leaders. Its objectives are to raise the
standards of governance throughout the region, improve the lives of the
region’s people and, in so doing, contribute to the transformation of
Asia. Although the School was formally launched
in 2004, she
has inherited a rich legacy left by her
predecessor, the Public Policy Programme, set up in 1992 in partnership with
the John F Kennedy School of Government (KSG) at Harvard University. To this
day the School continues to maintain its strong partnership with KSG. At the
same time, the School has developed new partnerships with Columbia
University’s School of International & Public Affairs (SIPA), the
London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) and the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po). Besides one PhD and three Masters programmes, the
School also offers a diverse range of high quality executive programmes. 3.
e-Government Leadership Center The IDA (Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore) together with the ISS and the LKYSPP are the
three partner institutions behind this Centre. The eGL
shares the knowledge and lessons learnt in Singapore e-Government with
government participants around the
world to help in accelerating the achievement of the development goals of their
respective countries. The eGL also aims to
provide a stimulating environment for participants to learn from one another
as she continually builds on the intellectual capital on e-Government
leadership. An example of a recent short
course to government officials is on building intelligent cities. The NUS Extension is the continuing education arm of
the NUS for more than 40 years since 1966 as the Extra-mural Studies
Department of the then University of Singapore. All these years, she has
dedicated to provide a meaningful and enriching experience for lifelong
learners. She offers a wide range of courses in professional and management,
enterprise leadership, entrepreneurship development, and personal
development. In addition, she has organized public administration, human
resource management, and economic development programs (plus field trips in
Singapore) related to Singapore’s development for senior China
officials. The
RMI (Risk Management Institute) was established in 2006 as a research
institute at NUS dedicated to the area of financial risk management. The
establishment of RMI was supported by the Monetary Authority of Singapore
(MAS). RMI aims to be a world-class center in risk management through
research, education and training. Besides a Master degree program in
financial engineering, she organizes short courses in risk management such as
credit risk management in corporate or SME lending, and Basel III and
