Using an e-learning platform to craft NE project tasks

Introduction In 1996, the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) launched three initiatives i.e. National Education (NE), the Thinking Programme (TP) and the Master Plan for Information Technology in Education (MPITE). Three years later, the Project Work (PW) initiative was implemented in 1999. These initiatives represent the change in the landscape in our education system and as a nation itself. While the NE initiative calls for us to better understand our existence as a nation, the PW initiative aims to better prepare our students for the challenges of the 21 century and to achieve our country’s vision of Thinking Schools, Learning Nation (TSLN). The infusion of NE into the curriculum also provides learning opportunities for the pupils to better equip themselves about Singapore as a nation and its survival.
