Important to create space for discovery in learning: National Youth Council Head

Youth Council's chief executive David Chua said on Tuesday .

Mr Chua said that nowadays,"everything in the curriculum is very compact, and you are optimised to... make sure you have everything available for entering the workforce, and there is no time to discover, there is no time to wonder, there's no time to be curious, and to just learn outside of the school construct".

"I know some students want to finish as soon as possible, but is it possible to pace yourself? That's a decision that I think everyone needs to step back and look into," he said. NYC council member and consultant psychiatrist, Mr Syed Harun Alhabsyi, said that while it is important for people to know the limits of their abilities when it comes to being peer supporters, even laymen can help others with mental health conditions by simply listening and being a friend.
