I often wonder if diversity and inclusion are utopian ideals, an important life skill or just buzzwords.
While the student feedback about the course content and its delivery is usually encouraging, there is a feeling of incompleteness within me! I feel that as an educator, I should do more. Let me explain. The Government’s intentional push is enshrined in the publicly available toolkit issued by the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices to promote fair, responsible and progressive employment practices.
Pre-employment educational institutions, referring to institutes of higher learning, represent a critical period for the absorption of such knowledge as they play an instrumental role in shaping the ideas of young adults. Perhaps, a prior mental conditioning to diversity and inclusion challenges may help to improve receptivity to diversity training at the workplace.
Furthermore, by utilising an experiential and practical teaching pedagogy, diversity education may act as an action lever to tackle the social inequality and exclusion challenges that Singapore continues to face. Even though I feel that more can be done to support diversity education in universities, I take comfort in the fact that I’m able to make a positive impact on the learning journey of students who take my diversity and inclusion course.
