Welcome Address by Minister Chan Chun Sing at Work Plan Seminar 2024

Mr Chan Chun Sing, Minister for Education, delivered a welcome address at MOE Work Plan Seminar 2024, which was attended by over 1,700 educators and school leaders.
In his speech, Minister thanked educators for their good work, noting that students continued to demonstrate strong fundamentals even with disruptions from the pandemic.
Minister highlighted the role that educators play in nurturing our future generations in a troubled world and encouraged educators to adopt new mindsets towards work. He announced measures to create more capacity for educators to upskill, such as in initiatives to streamline work and administrative duties, and to introduce more porosity for teachers to explore attachments. He also stressed the importance of setting clear boundaries around educators' roles, establishing baseline expectations for communication between teachers and parents. Additionally, he underscored the significance of leveraging collective capabilities through partnerships to support the holistic development of students.

If not most, lots of teachers never reply MOE and school based emails. Even some dont reply in communication app that they had given to parents. When you call the school up after weeks of no responding, the school said they had went home even its just 30 minutes after school students bell and will call back next day which always ended the third day. So MOE conclusion now is stop parents to communicate with teachers. Should parents take leave and queue up to meet the principals to talk instead? It will be long queue. Will the principal call up his team of gangs of counselor, teacher, admin,..... 4 vs 1, to talk down to 1 parent? He said why meet the parent in school? Does this mean MOE is abandoning parents teacher meeting anymore? This also means no longer parent and teacher collaboration or partnership.

Quality. Please. Doing away with gifted programmes. Yet focus on quality of teachers? Right, calibre of polytechnics, calibre of degree, calibre of technical instututes. That's inequality. Have you had college dropouts or ITE graduates earn higher benchmark? Higher than degree? So, all things are important. Quality are more important. *scoff . Any opposition, let's chat and respond me. Please SG leaders and global leaders.
