Ong Ye Kung (SG), Minister for Education of Singapore • Anders Samuelsen (DK), Minister for Foreign Affairs of Denmark • Johann N. Schneider-Ammann (CH), Federal Councillor of the Swiss Confederation • Topic Leader: Mehdi Hasan (GB), Presenter Head to Head and UpFront, Al Jazeera English • Dealing with uncertainty and unreliability in fast-paced societies around the globe plays an increasingly greater role in national politics. While countries are buffeted by the rapid advances made by technology and struggle to manage geopolitical shifts, reliable information and pre-dictable outcomes are scarce. Therefore, it is more difficult than ever to implement change in a meaningful and sustainable way. At the St. Gallen Symposium this panel will debate two central dimensions: On one side, the need for disruptive thinking in politics to revolutionize the way we think about education, and on the other, how states can navigate between Western liberal values, rising Asian states, and rampaging extremists. • • Share your thoughts via #disruptiondilemma #47sgs • Facebook: / stgallensymposium • Twitter: / sg__symposium • LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/1ZwbM0Y
