SINGAPORE – Students who were unable to attend National Day Parade (NDP) National Education (NE) Shows due to the Covid-19 pandemic will be invited to the shows in 2024 and 2025.
This applies to current Secondary 3 students in Ministry of Education (MOE) institutions, as well as those who will be in Secondary 3 in 2025, the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) said on March 18.
These students were from the cohorts of Primary 5 who were unable to attend the shows in 2020 and 2021 due to restrictions imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Invitations will be sent to parents of current Secondary 3 students between March 20 and 21 through MOE’s Parents Gateway portal, for their children to attend one of three NE shows this year – on July 6, July 13 or July 20.
To apply for a ticket, they will have to indicate their interest in attending a show by March 27.
Parents of students who will be in Secondary 3 next year will receive their letters in 2025.
Mindef said: “Since 1997, NE Shows have been a significant part of our students’ collective NE learning experience.
“This experience aims to celebrate Singapore’s progress as a nation and deepen our youths’ appreciation of the Singaporean identity.”
Students and their parents may contact their respective schools or [email protected] for more information.
