The past two decades have seen the re-emergence of Asia as a centre of economic, political and social activity of global significance and impact. This has been particularly true in the domain of economics where Asia today accounts for most of the growth in world output. Perhaps most significantly, Asia’s rapid economic growth has resulted in several hundred million people being lifted out of abject poverty in less than a generation. As Asia’s economies continue their ascent, the challenge will be for its systems of governance to keep pace and adapt; both in order to continue facilitating rapid economic growth but also to manage the political and social implications that must surely follow.
Executive Education at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy plays an integral role in our mission to inspire leaders, improve lives and help transform Asia. Our programmes are designed to serve the needs of organisations and working professionals in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors, helping strengthen their leadership and management capabilities to perform more effectively in this rapidly changing environment. Our experienced team of faculty and senior practitioners seeks to integrate cutting-edge research with practical know-how and expertise.
Here, you can find information about our programmes with some ideas on how we might work with you to meet the needs of your organisation. We would very much welcome the opportunity to discuss these further with you.

Interactive Learning
Our faculty’s approach places a heavy emphasis on interactive teaching methods, including simulations, case studies, debates and panel discussions in addition to the presentation of new analytical frameworks, with the aim of engaging participants as experienced practitioners.
Global Focus, Asian Perspectives
Our School offers a unique opportunity for public policy education in a distinctive environment that is both Asian and global. The principles of public policy taught in the School are universally applied. However, its location in Asia and its diverse student and alumni body provide valuable opportunities to network with future generations of Asian policy-makers as well as gain insight into the latest thinking coming from Asia. Our faculty’s extensive knowledge and research also focus substantially on issues and challenges confronting Asia.
Valuable Peer Network Our rapidly growing community of 1020 distinguished alumni from 30 countries offers opportunities for networking beyond the School.
