EXECUTIVE TEAM.

We design and steward every initiative delivered through PKRS, from concept to sustained impact. Our leadership integrates globally benchmarked frameworks with locally embedded systems —
ensuring every initiative is internationally aligned, contextually grounded, and shaped by the heritage, knowledge, and needs of the communities we serve.

Scott J. Wong
Executive Director

Scott J. Wong brings over 25 years of experience in educational design and delivery, with expertise in digital literacy, child safeguarding, and intergenerational learning.

As Executive Director of PKRS, he leads the design and delivery of the organisation’s programmes, working closely with educators, ministries, and institutions already serving the communities PKRS supports.

Scott also co-authored Chapter 9, “Responsible and Equitable Use of AI in Educational Settings,” in The Practitioner’s Guide to Technology-Enhanced Learning, contributing to global discourse on responsible and equitable AI in education.
