Back to school: How Design & Technology lessons have changed in Singapore

In the second article of a three-part series looking at how lessons in Singapore's schools have evolved, CNA journalist Grace Yeoh went back to the classroom to find out whether Design & Technology (D&T) lessons still involve buffing plastic, filing woodwork and sketching with pencil on paper. cna.asia/3GKsx6O

Mr Ng Teck Yeong was my D&T teacher when I was in Secondary School. I really enjoyed his lessons! And that was almost 10 years ago!

EDT is a great module to include in the school's curriculum. Idea is to listen to people's needs...whatever their age. Reporter talked about fidgeting as problematic but the real issue is safety of users in selecting chairs.

Lies again? American Education Ugly Teachers

Hey guys! Could you please design something for the hawkers in Little India, helping them get rid of those plastic containers? The tray or container that serves various curry sauces must be contemporary and reflect Indian culture. Ideally, it is something Singaporean and Indian, something uniquely ours.

Used to love D & T a lot. This programme make me feel like dinosaurs lol

[@sieandknsproductions3491]

Actually not all do like this, there are schools that still do the buffing, filing, sketching etc

[@victorvictor4235]

I was wondering it won’t be for all lessons. You need some theoretical background to do design. Maybe can sit in some of the more theoretical lessons. This is more like project based assessment.

🇨🇳Chaos and deterioration of political stability, security, economy in the European Union countries and America in my opinion is caused by a chaotic comedian who is ambitious, arrogant, cunning, likes to incite, manipulate the situation, he is like "having a special mission in the country of Ukraine", It could be "he is" the ambassador of Israel or the ambassador of the Jews, and "the ambassador of an invading country, the world's largest, largest, fiercest and most arrogant political and security provocateur in the world" who often "rages and interferes" in the domestic politics of other countries. . He is America, gentlemen, who likes to interfere and likes to "plug his military power everywhere", then provoke and will take advantage of countries directly bordering Russia, by building military bases, making chemical and biological weapons at will, coincidentally what was ordered was a chaotic comedian who was stupid but had big ambitions beyond his ability who happened to be a leader, this kind of person is an ordinary person and he will most likely end up in prison, very easy to control, maybe he really likes money and power, so that He stupidly obeys and instead often provokes and likes to order European countries to be hostile to Russia, with sanctions and embargoes, then beg to many countries to ask for donations and financial and military assistance, as well as personnel, if only the Ukrainian leader really cared about the people, play it safe, like peace, smart with common sense and a good conscience.. then, maybe big inan, war, sanctions, embargoes which in the end only afflict their people and other countries, WILL NOT HAPPEN! If only he didn't allow the American and Nato military forces to build military bases and manufacture dangerous chemical weapons, I'm sure RUSSIA will just sit back and enjoy their drinks, because of security provocations that tend to interfere with Russia's security stability, then RUSSIA should be ANGRY, TRY TO ASK AMERICAN LEADERS, OFFICIALS AND PEOPLE, HOW WILL THEY RESPOND IF RUSSIA BUILD MILITARY BASE AND LABORATORY FOR HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS (MASS DESTRUCTION) IN MEXICO&/Canada?? EASY LOGIC??
