National Education Symposium
Taking inspiration from SG60’s rally call for Singaporeans, the theme -"To Care, To Connect, To Contribute" embodies the three pillars we wish for all participants to inculcate into their lives. Our theme also represents a three-step process for students — namely to first show care for others, to connect with others, and finally, to contribute to our nation by building our future Singapore together.
As Singapore marks its 60th year of independence in 2025, let us celebrate our progress while reflecting on how to shape a resilient, inclusive, and forward-looking future together.
To Care
To nurture students as active citizens by fostering a culture of compassion and shared responsibility that strengthens Singapore’s social fabric.
To Connect
To create meaningful opportunities for students to engage with diverse perspectives and collaborate across differences through authentic, lived experiences.
To Contribute
To empower students to come together, share ideas, and co-create solutions that help shape a brighter and more inclusive future for Singapore.
