Home-based learning set to be regular part of schooling, post Covid-19, says Education Minister Ong Ye Kung
SINGAPORE - Pandemic or not, home-based learning is set to become routine, with schools setting aside several days every month for online learning.
But HBL days should not be packed with lessons or curriculum teaching. Nor should it be a"free-for-all" where the student does whatever he wishes, he said in the address which was released to the media. Mr Ong explained that the change was prompted by"the universal adoption of digital learning" during the circuit breaker period.
This highlighted another imperative: the need to do more to ensure greater financial inclusion, from young. Touching on inter-disciplinary learning in tertiary institutions, Mr Ong said the universities and polytechnics are already looking at how to offer more courses that bring together disciplines.
