    • S1E62: Education vs. AI - Can schools balance ChatGPT and character-building?
      Jan 13 2026

      As AI reshapes work and life, schools are changing too. But before we redesign education, should we ask what it’s really for?

      Synopsis: On Wednesdays, The Straits Times takes a hard look at Singapore's social issues of the day with guests.

      Education is one of the few institutions almost every Singaporean passes through - and one of the most contested. From debates about declining attention spans to rising anxiety, we now wonder about the role of artificial intelligence in classrooms. Questions about standards, equity, excellence and inclusion continue to surface.

      Schools are expected to prepare students not just for jobs, but for citizenship and for lives that feel meaningful. Sometimes these expectations are in tension with one another as we grapple with the AI revolution that’s underway.

      In this episode, we ask a more fundamental question: What purpose does education serve in a world increasingly driven by technology and AI?

      And how should our answers change when the world students are entering - shaped by AI and rapid technological change - may look radically different from the one schools were designed for?

      Joining the discussion with Deputy Opinion Editor Mubin Saadat are Ms Elisha Tushara, The Straits Times education correspondent who spent a decade teaching before moving into journalism, and Dr Liu Woon Chia, Director and researcher at the National Institute of Education and co-founder of its Motivation in Educational Research Laboratory.

      1:30 AI impact on education

      11:55 What do PISA and OECD studies tell us?

      15: 03 Friction in learning

      19:35 A focus on human qualities in learning

      26:35 AI as a teacher’s tool

    • S1E145: OCD (Pt 2): 4-day treatment and the Bergen approach
      Jan 12 2026

      The science of getting unstuck from OCD in four days.

      Synopsis: Every first Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you.

      Obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD is often misunderstood. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is frequently misunderstood. Although the term is often used casually, it is a potentially severe disorder that can drastically disrupt a person's life.

      However, it is highly treatable. Yet, many people remain undiagnosed and untreated for years.

      To learn more about OCD, ST senior health correspondent Joyce Teo talks to two psychologists who specialise in the treatment of OCD for a two-part series on what the disorder is about and how the Bergen approach treats OCD in just four days?

      They are Dr Jackki Yim, Principal Clinical Psychologist & Deputy Head of Anxiety Service, Department of Mood & Anxiety at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) and Ms Tammie Kwek, Senior Clinical Psychologist, Department of Mood & Anxiety, IMH.

      Highlights (click/tap above):

      2:56 How is OCD treated?

      6:00 What does the Bergen treatment entail?

      11:00 Is it for everyone suffering from OCD?

      14:05 What is the “homework” that patients have to do?

      21:52 How should families accommodate a family member living with OCD?

    • S2E57: Asia's drone wars: Who's buying Predators and Reapers?
      Jan 8 2026

      As Asia’s militaries show an increasing appetite to deploy drones – most recently during the Thai-Cambodian skirmishes and the brief India-Pakistan conflict in May, 2025, we speak to the chief executive of the company that makes lethal Unmanned Aerial Systems such as the Predator, Reaper and Sea Guardian.

      Synopsis: The Straits Times’ senior columnist Ravi Velloor distils 45 years of experience covering the Asian continent, with expert guests.

      In this wide-ranging conversation, Ravi speaks with Dr Vivek Lall, Chief Executive of General Atomics Global Corp, on trends in modern warfare, the rise of data-driven hi-tech weapons, weapons that ‘loiter’ in the air awaiting command from the ground and space as the next frontier of contestation.

      They also focus on UASs – in warfare and potentially for civil use – and discuss whether unmanned drones have raised the risk of warfare by not putting pilots directly in harm’s way.

      Highlights (click/tap above):

      2:46 'The future is in unmanned systems'

      5:45 ‘Hey, there’s an UAV flying right alongside me’

      7:00 Asian militaries buying Predators and eyeing EMALS: India, Japan, Taiwan, Asean

      14:05 Can US go it alone in defence research?

      16:43 Does unmanned raise risk of war?

      20:32 ‘There will always be pilots’
