Caring for Students with Special Educational Needs

WE BELIEVE IN PROVIDING SUPPORT TO STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. MOE strives to provide every student with special educational needs a supportive school environment and programmes. Together with our partners in education, we aspire to be a society where every student, especially those with high support needs, and their caregivers can lead independent and meaningful lives. In all our students, we aim to also foster a spirit of giving back to the community and society, to uplift themselves and those around them who may need more support. This will create a society that recognises and celebrates people from diverse backgrounds, including those with Special Educational Needs.

 

OUR PLEDGE

We commit to providing an ecosystem that supports the learning of students with special educational needs, and helps them make a smooth transition across life stages.

We will work with caregivers, community partners and employers to ensure the efforts are well-coordinated and suitably funded.

In providing for and supporting students with special educational needs, we need to also strengthen society’s empathy, understanding and support towards their caregivers as well.

PLEDGE HIGHLIGHTS

I will inspire students, persons with disabilities (PwDs) and other individuals as an outdoor educator. At the same time, to be inclusive so that everyone can be part of society regardless.

I will work hard and have a continuous will to learn new skills for the betterment of those around me. For example, I want to learn ASL to adapt to the needs of people who may have hearing disabilities.
