Best Of Live & Learn 2016: Public Policy

We had our fair share of national debates on public policy this year. Two among them were the plain packaging proposal for cigarettes, and the experiment to use English to teach science and maths subjects under the Dual Language Programme pilot project. We revisit these debates on the pros and cons of each idea. The full interviews featured on this podcast can be found here, here and here.
