Keechiu discusses Home Based Learning.
I have received feedback from some parents who are keen on transiting to Full Home-based Learning (Full HBL) and others who are against this. Such mixed views are understandable.
Singapore is unlikely to see zero community cases in the short-term, and vaccination for younger children is currently unavailable. At the same time, we recognise the impact that Full HBL has on all of us:
o Full HBL on a prolonged basis comes at a significant cost to our students’ learning, and socio-emotional and mental well-being. In addition, not all of them have conducive home environments for HBL.
o There are many parents who have to scramble to make alternative care arrangements, which may not necessarily be better for their children.
o Teachers are juggling the additional demands of preparing and conducting online lessons while taking care of their families.
We all know that disruption to normalcy can cause fear, stress and despair, which has serious and real consequences in the long term. What then would be the sustainable solution going forward?
As a parent myself, I would like to reassure fellow parents that our schools remain safe places for learning. We have implemented Stringent Safe Management Measures (SMMs) to minimise transmission risks. Surveillance measures are in place to detect potential COVID-19 positive cases as soon as possible, and we are using ringfencing measures such as Ministry of Education, Singapore’s Leave of Absence (LOA) to keep potential cases out of schools.
Over the last 3 months, 129 students and 17 school staff have tested positive for COVID-19. This represents 0.03% of our total student population, from Primary to Pre-University levels. We would like to thank parents for working closely with our schools, to manage the risks of #COVID19, and enable continued learning. With our collective efforts, the average attendance rate of our schools has consistently remained comparable to pre-COVID.
Based on currrent science and what we understand about the virus, MOE will continue to adopt a targeted approach to deal with COVID-19 cases in our schools. This means that when we have a school case, we will isolate those who are close contacts of the positive case through LOA or a Quarantine Order. In exceptional cases where the situation is unclear, we may put the entire school on HBL to break any possible transmission as well as give Ministry of Health, Singapore time to test and investigate thoroughly before re-opening the school.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and review if any adjustment is needed in line with national guidelines, especially as we transit towards managing COVID-19 as an endemic disease.

Keechiu discusses social media.
How often do you check your social media and do you FOMO?
Enjoyed the chat with youths on issues close to their hearts, including how they use social media to relax, who they confide in and how their parents support them in setting realistic goals and expectations.
Here are some things they shared with me:
- Social media can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, youths use it to relax and connect with their friends. But it can also be a stressor when it leads to comparisons. We need to regulate our feelings so that the pressure does not become overwhelming.
- Most of them confide in their friends because they can better relate and connect with them on issues they are facing.
- It is important to have open and in-depth conversations with parents to set realistic goals and expectations for themselves.
We discussed the importance for youths, like them, to recognise that when facing challenges, there is no need to shun away from seeking help because it is part of acquiring the necessary skill sets in life.
Our youths also want to do more to help their peers and be equipped with the know-how to be a better listener or to provide advice when friends turn to them. Ministry of Education, Singapore will continue to enhance our efforts in this, starting with a peer support system in all schools, strengthening the Parents Support Group, as part of our overall efforts to support our youths.

Keechiu thanks nurses for their hard work.
The work that nurses do is critical, yet sometimes thankless, especially in the prolonged fight against #COVID19. This Nurses’ Day, let’s extend our appreciation to the nurses around us.
Our nursing students from the Institutes of Higher Learning also face a challenging time. As they head straight to the frontlines, be it during their internships or after graduation, we see glimpses of their bravery and dedication in not shying away from their healthcare calling.
Thank you nurses, for your hard work, for putting others before yourselves, and for going above and beyond to keep Singapore safe.

Keechiu joins participants in the Singapore Model Cabinet 2021.
I spent last Saturday listening to the different policy proposals that student groups came up with after their participation in the Singapore Model Cabinet 2021 – an event organised by the National University of Singapore Political Association (NUSPA) and Singapore Management University Apolitical (SMU Apolitical).
Simulating the roles of the Prime Minister and members of the Cabinet, the participants gave thoughtful consideration to many different issues; from ensuring that our education system prepares our students for the fast-changing needs of the job market, to how Singapore can continue to safeguard our economic viability through trade and balancing taxation and public spending.
Their enthusiasm in understanding the process of policy formulation and attempts in crafting policies that would not only meet national needs but better the lives of fellow Singaporeans was very encouraging.
The session left me heartened and hopeful, that our youths will continue to pursue our national spirit of unity and seek the common good for our people, when the time comes for them to lead Singapore forward. CCS

from straitstimes.com:
SINGAPORE - Children under 12 in Singapore infected with Covid-19 have had only a mild infection and none has needed intensive care or oxygen support, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing on Monday (Aug 2).
As for inoculation against the coronavirus, he said the expert committee on Covid-19 vaccination is monitoring ongoing vaccination trials for children under 12 and will make recommendations when it is ready.
Outlining in Parliament the steps taken to keep children safe, Mr Chan said schools will continue to fine-tune safe management measures as Singapore moves towards dealing with Covid-19 as an endemic disease.
He was responding to Ms He Ting Ru (Sengkang GRC), who had asked about the assessed risk level for children under 12 who cannot yet be vaccinated, as Singapore moves back to phase two (heightened alert).
Mr Chan said Covid-19 infections in other countries have, so far, shown that the disease outcome is less severe for children than older adults and the elderly.
Even with the Delta variant, children under 12 in Singapore so far have had only a mild infection, he said.
He added that none of them has required intensive care unit or oxygen support.
He said that managing Covid-19 involves managing risks and balancing trade-offs.
The past few months have given the authorities more confidence that a better balance can be struck by taking a more targeted approach to ringfence cases and their close contacts when they arise, added Mr Chan.
"The alternative to full home-based learning on a prolonged basis comes at a cost to the learning... of our young and it takes a toll on their mental wellness, and places additional stress on the educators, parents, and students," he said.
Ms He asked what has been done to address the concerns of parents who feel their young children might be vulnerable to the disease.
Mr Chan said there is a need for any measures taken to be sustainable. This is because it is uncertain how long the disease will be around, and when the right vaccine will arrive, he added.
Future mass testing capabilities that are less intrusive can be another tool for more activities to be opened up, he added.

Keechiu visits Tampines Secondary School.
The pride and enthusiasm of Secondary 3 students, Nigel and Ralph, was evident as they showed me the various objects that they had made using a 3D printer.
Welcome to the Maker Hub at Tampines Secondary School, a space where students in the Maker-Faire CCA engage in unstructured exploration, and bring their creative ideas for solving real-life challenges to fruition. Some of these projects include a traffic sensor to warn pedestrians of bicycles and personal mobility devices, and an automated smart recycling bin.
The Maker-Faire CCA started as an interest group with only 4 students working on a project to construct a sound box that could play musical chords. The school supported the students by providing a working space and materials, such as an electronics kit. From there it has since evolved to become one of the most popular CCAs in the school! This is a good example of how far students can go when their curiosity is sparked, and they are given agency by schools to pursue their passions.
I was struck by the intricacy of the products designed by the students, and more importantly, their confidence and eagerness to acquire new knowledge. As eloquently marked on their desk – we can all “learn new things every day!”

Keechiu encourages lifelong learning.
Jonathan has been in the IT sector for 20 years.
But he chose to head back to school this year, by enrolling in Singapore Institute of Technology’s competency-based degree in Infocomm Technology (Information Security), because he believes it will strengthen his skillsets, and help him to nurture his team of cybersecurity professionals.
Indeed, the pursuit of lifelong learning will increasingly be the norm rather than the exception, as we acquire the evolving skillsets that are necessary to meet the fast changing needs of industries. Our ability to do so will determine our sense of career fulfillment, employment outcome, wage growth, and the competitiveness of our country.
At SkillsFuture@SIT today, I outlined 3 ways the Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) could strengthen the lifelong learning ecosystem to support our people in upskilling:
1) Shorten the time for knowledge transfer between the frontier industries and our IHLs, and maintain the currency of knowledge of our teaching faculty
2) Be adult-learner centric in our approach and recognise the challenges that adult learners face in terms of family and financial commitments
3) Strengthen the motivation for our workforce to reskill and upskill.
I was glad to witness the signing of two Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) between SIT and its industry partners. Through the MOUs, SIT will pilot a new Competency-Based Workplace Learning Pathway and offer a new stackable Postgraduate Certificate in Urban Railway Technologies.
Other IHLs are playing their part in supporting lifelong learning as well. SUTD Singapore University of Technology & Design is launching new Financial Technology (FinTech) courses with TechFin, a subsidiary of PolicyPal, and Singapore Polytechnic and Ericsson have co-developed a series of hands-on, industry-relevant practitioner courses to uplift the technical capabilities of professionals working with 5G technology.
I look forward to more partnerships between our IHLs and industry, to embed a mainstream culture of continuous learning among Singaporeans.

Keechiu praises primary school student songwriter.
“Life is an open book, depending on how you write it. So, paint your life with all your hopes and dreams.” – wise words from P6 student Chong Yunhan.
These are lyrics from her song, “Be Happy”. The Fairfield Methodist School (Primary) student wrote this original composition for this year’s Singapore Youth Festival. Hear her sing it in this video featuring highlights from the Festival!
Yunhan shared that she wanted to compose a piece that would spark hope. The lyrics in her song are about resilience and tenacity, and how we can aspire and dream despite challenges.
“I hope that my song can be a source of inspiration to help lift the mood of our people, overcome their stress and anxiety, and be happy!”
This is the first time Yunhan is writing a song, and she has done a wonderful job, with advice from her music teachers Ms Michelle Yap and Mrs Serena Chan!

Keechiu visits Eunoia Junior College.
Was treated to energetic dance and music performances at the campus launch of Eunoia Junior College, by students Shu Ting, Leo, Si En, Norman, Cheryl, Marilyn, Jay and Ryan.
The passion and bond of the Eunoia family was evident, with the alumni actively pitching in to the event — this includes the launch video shot by alumni Nicholas, Keane and Austin from Advocado Films.
Also enjoyed meeting the lively class of 20-U1, who shared their views on biculturalism and how we might explore new approaches in higher education.
The art installation, Dendrýllio, which was unveiled at the launch, encapsulates the spirit of Eunoia -- its extensive and overlapping roots reflects students from diverse backgrounds coming together to form a cohesive common identity and foundation for the school; and the sturdy trunk bears the message of purpose, heart and courage as students embark on different endeavours.
May Eunoia grow from strength to strength, and continue to nurture generations of students to come. CCS
