Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong emphasizes STEAM education

Schools need to adapt to help students succeed in the future, according to Rob Fox, headmaster of Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong. He emphasizes the importance of teaching an entrepreneurial mindset alongside academic subjects. Fox believes that focusing on STEAM—Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics—and offering hands-on learning experiences can foster critical thinking in students. This approach prepares them for a changing higher education landscape and the global job market. He points out that many employers look for candidates with proactive, innovative skills. Skills like creativity, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship are vital in today’s workforce. Educators must provide students with essential skills, like communication and creativity, to equip them for life after school. Fox insists that understanding current global issues is crucial for young people as they prepare for their future careers.
