Synopsis :This is a recording of a lecture delivered by Dr Png Poh Seng, a Lecturer of the Department of History at the University of Singapore. This lecture series is organised by the Joint Committee for Radio and TV courses. Dr Png speaks on the topic "Education And Social Change - Past and Present".
