Approach the General Office should you have any concern regarding the PLD procurement.
At MOE’s Committee of Supply Debate in March 2020, MOE launched the National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP) for our schools and Institutes of Higher Learning to help students strengthen their digital literacy.
One of the components of the NDLP is the introduction of the Personalised Digital Learning Programme (PDLP) for all secondary school students, whereby every secondary school student will own a school-prescribed Personal Learning Device (PLD) by end 2021.
The use of the PLD for teaching and learning aims to:
Students will learn digital skills such as gathering and evaluating information online, interacting with the online community, and creating digital products.
PLDs provide an immersive environment for students to develop the dispositions, knowledge and skills to thrive in the digital environment.
Students can access digital resources on their own to acquire knowledge about a topic of their interest beyond the curriculum. They can also share and build on one another’s ideas, and refine their own understanding.
PLDs enable students to learn online according to their needs and interests and to collaborate with each other, anytime and anywhere.
An environment where students learn with PLDs allows teachers and students to harness technology for greater effectiveness in teaching. For example, instructions, activities and feedback for each student could be more tailored and relevant to students’ learning needs.
