Singapore is a small nation with a very high population density. One of her key priorities for survival is to nurture a well-educated and continuous learning work force that can function competitively in a knowledge-intensive economy and fast-changing environment. In this respect, effective information and knowledge strategies are highly significant. To achieve this vision, Singapore has mapped out and exploited several different IT/ICT strategic plans/policies and integrated them systematically into the national education system. It is recognized that the continuous and strategic exploitation of appropriate ICT in education is inevitable for continuous and effective knowledge structure updating at all levels (individual, organization, community) through a smoother learning dynamic. As the world activities become more knowledge focused, the ability to provide higher levels education for a larger proportion of the population is a critical factor for all organizations/nations to survive. In addition, it is equally crucial for every one in the work force to be supported by a comfortable lifelong learning environment. Concurrently, it must be noted that the education (learning and knowledge acquisition) dynamic of human beings is highly complex and nonlinear. This study on information and knowledge strategies reveals that ICT and education (encompassing e-learning, e-library and e-landscape), and intelligence and collective intelligence are closely associated. The effective strategies must encompass an emergent component. The integration between human learning and ICT is synergic in the current environment. The output can be affected by the butterfly effect.
