Minister of Education Chan Chun Sing shared how he was shown around Jurong Secondary School by their students, calling it a very memorable visit.
Here is his Facebook statement
I was left in the good hands of Vivian, Yi Xuan and their schoolmates, from the moment I arrived at Jurong Secondary School.
They showed me around the school with great pride, deftly answered my questions, and shared many interesting details that reflected their interest and love for their school.
It was clear that the principal and teachers have tremendous faith and trust in their students – they are given space to lead independently and be themselves, and the confidence that this instils in the students shone brightly.
A very memorable visit
Jurong Sec thanks him
Jurong Secondary School was honoured to host Minister for Education and Minister-in-Charge of the Public Service, Mr. Chan Chun Sing. As JSS is one of the pilot schools for FSBB, Minister Chan was able to participate in common curriculum lessons to better understand what the FSBB Art and PE classrooms are like.
Hosted by our student councillors, Yi Xuan and Vivien, Minister Chan toured the school and its facilities, including the canteen and our very own POD Café to get a taste of student life in JSS.
Minister Chan also had dialogues with students to gather feedback and concerns. Additionally, the students shared their hopes for the education system.
The staff of JSS were delighted to engage Minister Chan in a conversation about the future of Singapore’s educational landscape. He shared some ideas and initiatives through which we can further enrich the lives of our students.
Thank you Minister Chan for gracing us with your presence and for being so candid with us as you shared your wisdom and perspectives.
