Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy released a Unified AI Literacy Framework for Singapore in February 2026. The framework integrates baseline digital skills, AI-specific competences, career-related capabilities, and contextual competences including judgement, adaptability, and ethical awareness. The framework is positioned as a common reference point rather than a prescriptive curriculum, to guide policy design, programme development, and coordination across sectors.
The framework spans education, workforce, and governance domains and emphasises ethics and societal impact as core competencies. It represents a coordinated approach to AI literacy across public and private sectors.
Who it affects: Policy makers, educators, employers, workforce training bodies, and government agencies; applicable across schools, universities, and workplace training programmes.
What is notably missing: Binding implementation mandate for any specific sector; enforcement mechanism; funding allocation; explicit worker rights protections; no defined timeline for adoption across education and workforce contexts.
