In these initiatives, the CNC’s priority is for the creation of sustainable jobs for poverty alleviation, economic justice, and the promotion of human flourishing. To this end, CNC achieves its mandate of “fighting poverty through enterprises.”
The investment managers of CNC Tjoa Thian Song and Lim Fang Wei said, “Ideas Academy is showing with their track record that they can change lives. They fill a gap by creating affordable international (IGSCE curriculum) education for all.”
Ideas Academy: Education for all
“As a social enterprise we are looking forward to collaborating with CNC. It is important to be able to collaborate with like minded partners to make the crucial sustainable change that is needed for the youth”, according to Jan Willem Smulders, Chairman of the Board of Ideas Academy.
Ideas Academy will continue to focus on their primary objective to offer Education For All. They create an innovative educational environment by unifying the balance between the necessary knowledge of the tech world with the essential teachings of positive humanitarian understanding. In doing so they promote an ‘above and beyond’ approach that differentiates from traditional learning methods. They believe in the importance, more now than ever, to create a culture of compassion, awareness and inclusivity.
