Secondary 2 students from Riverside Secondary School each received a brand new iPad on Wednesday, to help them in their learning by serving as a personal learning device.
It is part of MOE’s plan to encourage more “blended and self-directed learning”.
The school’s secondary 1 and 3 students will be receiving their iPads by the following week.
MOE will be making all personal learning devices available for all secondary school students by the end of 2021.
Students can use their Edusave account to pay for the device that their school has selected.
Education Minister Lawrence Wong said:
“We all want our students to be adaptable and nimble, and to keep learning and picking up new skills.
We want our students to have a positive attitude towards learning, and be more self-directed and intrinsically motivated.”
