SCCCE Launches Inaugural Insight Series with Inaugural Issue on CCE in an AI-Mediated World

As part of its ongoing work to deepen thinking and practice in Character and Citizenship Education (CCE), the Singapore Centre for Character and Citizenship Education (SCCCE) launched the SCCCE Insight Series on 28 Jan through the session “More than Artificial Intelligence Ready: Educating for Humanity”, jointly organised with the Teachers-as-Thinkers Series.

The launch session brought together over 600 participants, reflecting strong interest in how education can respond meaningfully to the opportunities and challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI). The SCCCE Insight Series is a new publication platform that features accessible thought pieces, research syntheses, and practitioner reflections on emerging issues in CCE, with the aim of sparking meaningful dialogue across the education community.

During the panel discussion, contributors explored how educators can move beyond technical readiness for AI towards cultivating human capacities such as judgement, discernment, and ethical reasoning. Panellists highlighted the importance of developing students’ digital wisdom through intentional character and learning processes, grounded in strong relationships and supportive school and community ecosystems.

The discussion also underscored the need for values-driven approaches to AI education, where educators thoughtfully leverage AI’s potential while attending to its risks, so that teaching and learning remain anchored in humanity, ethics, and purpose.
