Changes to PSLE assessment
“More emphasis should be placed on
teaching students critical soft skill — such
as building up their resilience to be able
to fail and pick themselves up— and also
helping students discover what they are
passionate about.”
“…..once it is clear that an individual wants to achieve
something, he or she will realise the need to learn
many other things to achieve their goal.”
Minister for Education
