Reimers.  \nAbstract: Following multiple disruptions and crises, global education stakeholders grapple with the issue of how to prepare learners for a future wrought with uncertainty and unpredictability. During the COVID-19 pandemic that caused global school closures, disruptions to learning occurred in differing scopes and magnitudes across different countries. International organisations reported that some students have incurred a 1-to-3-year learning loss, which might have ramifications on their holistic development and, further down the line, their socioeconomic prospects. An equitable solution must be sought for the world to move beyond recovering to flourishing. This article attempts to elucidate the underlying principles of Singapore’s education system through Dewey’s concept of democracy and education, defined from an apolitical stance. For Singapore, democracy is also balanced with pragmatic meritocracy, which is upheld as a means to provide equal opportunities for all, regardless of socioeconomic background. This paper describes Singapore’s democratic and  \nmeritocratic society, setting the backdrop for an education system that seeks to develop its citizens into resilient, values-anchored, and lifelong learners ready to confront the challenges of the future. Keywords: democracy; education; meritocratic democracy; resilient education; values-anchored education; lifelong education  \nEducación en una sociedad democrática y meritocrática: Avanzando más allá de la prosperidad hacia el florecimiento  \nResumen: Después de múltiples interrupciones y crisis, los actores globales en educación seenfrentan al problema de cómo preparar a los estudiantes para un futuro lleno de incertidumbre eimprevisibilidad. Durante la pandemia de COVID-19 que provocó el cierre global de las escuelas, se produjeron interrupciones en el aprendizaje de distintos alcances y magnitudes en diferentes países. Organizaciones internacionales informaron que algunos estudiantes han sufrido una pérdida deaprendizaje equivalente a 1-3 años de escolaridad y que esto podría impactar su desarrollo integral y, en el futuro, sus perspectivas socioeconómicas. Se debe buscar una solución equitativa para que el mundo avance más allá de la recuperación y prospere. Este artículo intenta dilucidar los principios subyacentes del sistema educativo de Singapur a través del concepto de democracia y educación de Dewey, definido desde una postura apolítica. Para Singapur, la democracia también se equilibra con la meritocracia pragmática, que se mantiene como un medio para brindar igualdad de oportunidadesa todos, independientemente del origen socioeconómico. Este artículo ofrece una descripción de la sociedad democrática y meritocrática de Singapur que sirve de contexto para su sistema educativo, el cual busca desarrollar ciudadanos resilientes, arraigados en valores y aprendices de por vida, listos para enfrentar los desafíos del futuro.  \nPalabras clave: democracia; educación; democracia meritocrática; educación resiliente; educación arraigada en valores; educación continua  \nEducação em uma sociedade democrática e meritocrática: Avançando além do prosperar para o flores","cbCaikdbRWIjphXF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikdbRWIjphXF","pdf",360152,"English","# Special Issue: Education and the Challenges for Democracy\n## Education in a Democratic and Meritocratic Society: Moving Beyond Thriving to Flourishing\n## Abstract\n## Keywords","[{\"question\":\"How does the paper describe Singapore’s approach to democracy and education?\",\"answer\":\"It explains Singapore’s education system by linking Dewey’s concept of democracy with a pragmatic meritocracy to provide equal opportunities regardless of socioeconomic background.\"}]","Education in a Democratic and Meritocratic Society: Moving Beyond Thriving to Flourishing | PDF",1792094238,48]
