MORE PATHWAYS –
MORE FULFILLED DREAMS
CHAPTER 2
Our education system is robust. Still, intense competition can lead to pressure and stress. Hence our major changes to focus on the joy of learning and to help every child discover and develop their strengths. We have replaced streaming with subject-based banding, and revamped the PSLE scoring system and the Gifted Education Programme.
We will continue to reform and reshape education so that we can all become the best versions of ourselves.
We will:
- broaden definitions of success
- customise education for diverse abilities and interests
- invest in our teachers’ professional development
- partner parents, industry and the community to deliver holistic, rounded education
To cater for students with special needs we will:
- build four new Special Education (SPED) schools by 2030
- establish more early intervention centres for children with developmental needs
- extend the Development Support-Learning Support Programme to more pre-schools
Beyond schools, we are investing significantly in every adult Singaporean through SkillsFuture.
We will do more to:
- empower Singaporeans to reskill and upskill, and advance in their careers
- help companies redesign jobs and invest in worker training
- help Singaporeans who have lost their jobs to bounce back with the SkillsFuture Jobseeker Support Scheme
