VISIT TO THE NATIONAL EDUCATION EXHIBITION 1998 BY STUDENTS

As part of the National Education for schools, about 223,000 students from primary schools, secondary schools, junior colleges, centralised institutes and the Institutes of Technical Education will be attending the National Education Exhibition (NEE) 1998 held from 7 to 31 Jul 98.

2 To help students focus on the key messages presented in the NEE, the Ministry of Education, together with the National Heritage Board have prepared worksheets for students. The worksheets contain different levels of thinking activities and focuses. They are designed for the various levels of upper primary, lower secondary, upper secondary and pre-university. They would also serve as guidelines for students to think about the main events and issues in the history of Singapore before, during and after the exhibition. To ensure that students maximise their learning experience of the exhibition, teachers will conduct post-exhibition activities including class presentations, role-playing and essay-writing in schools after the visit to the exhibition.

3 Please see Annex for more information on the schools attending the exhibition on 9,10 and 11 Jul 98. Enclosed with the press release are the worksheets given out to students.
