SINGAPORE - Every generation must be a pioneering generation, Education Minister Chan Chun Sing told an audience of 550 pre-university students on Tuesday morning .

In a speech opening this year's Pre-University Seminar at National Junior College, he charged the students with guiding Singapore to its 100th anniversary and outlined qualities they must have to succeed - be confident, curious and connected.

Mr Chan said previous generations have weathered challenges such as Konfrontasi, global economic recessions and oil crises, and the current youth will have to find their own way through its unique circumstances. Outlining the obstacles that Singapore's youth will have to contend with, Mr Chan said they will have to navigate a more contested geo-political environment, transform the economy and entrench Singapore as a global digital node.

Mr Chan ended his speech by opening the seminar and framing it as a platform for students to bond and connect. Students have been attending workshops with their groups of 12 since March where they met academics, senior civil servants, charity workers and other mentors to work on a project.
