The Executive Chairman of the McDan Group of Companies, Daniel McKorley, has called on stakeholders to collaborate in retooling the educational system to create an environment for students to explore, innovate and pursue their dreams. "Our educational institutions should be incubators of curiosity and passion, not just factories for rote learners,' he said. Mr McKorley also urged the graduands to make use of technology to create personalised learning experiences and foster a culture of lifelong learning, adding that 'the skills you acquire today may be obsolete tomorrow, so it's essential to cultivate a mindset of continuous growth and learning. 'Graduates, you are the pioneers of this new era. Embrace the unknown with courage and curiosity. The future is bright and it is yours to shape,' he added.
