About Policy Studies

Policy Studies (PS) 2009 is an inaugural debate series targeted at all youths across Singapore. It provides an avenue for youths to analyse local public policies and engage in meaningful crossfire. The proposed theme is “Moral and Ethical Dilemmas in Policymaking”. The competition should prove to be a battle of brains, a war of words.

Policy Studies is organized with three main objectives:
  1. To promote political awareness and generate interest in current affairs amongst undergraduates

  2. To encourage critical and creative thinking about local and regional government policies in terms of:
    a. Policy environment (context-specific considerations)
    b. Policy analysis (outcomes and inadequacies)

  3. To crystallize the discussions in a set of final recommendations for submission to the relevant authorities
Date & Time

Preliminary Rounds will be held on 9 Mar 2009 in 2 sessions (5-6.30pm and 6.30-8pm). This is to accommodate students with different timetables who may prefer one slot to the other.

Finals will be held on 13 Mar at 6pm. We are honoured to have Mr Teo Ser Luck, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Ministry of Community Development, Youth & Sports to grace the event.
