SINGAPORE: All Secondary 3 students at MOE schools will get to watch the&nbsp, National Day Parade ( NDP ) National Education show this year, as they were unable to do so when they were in Primary 5 due to COVID- 19 restrictions. &nbsp,

The Ministry of Defense ( MINDEF ) announced in a news release on Monday ( Mar 18 ) that those who will be in Secondary 3 the following year will also be invited to the NDP National Education Show in 2025.

A National Education Show, which provides a demo of the National Day Parade, is typically offered to major 5 students. &nbsp, &nbsp,

But, those two groups of students were unable to view the National Education shows in 2020 and 2021 because they had been postponed as a result of the crisis. &nbsp,

Invitations for Secondary 3 students this year will be sent out via the Ministry of Education’s ( MOE ) &nbsp, Parents Gateway portal between Mar 20 and Mar 21.

On July 6, July 13, or July 20, individuals may be invited to one of the National Education shows.

They must notify the recipient of the offer by March 27 to confirm their interest through the Parents Gateway website in order to apply for a solution.

In 2025, relatives of those entering Extra 3 will get their letters.

” National Education displays have been a major part of our students ‘ social National Education learning experience since 1997. This practice aims to honor Singapore’s development as a country and deepen our boys ‘ understanding of the Singaporean identity”, said MINDEF, which organises the shows.

The National Day Parade on Aug 9, 2020, was split into a&nbsp, night show at the Padang and an hour show at the Star Visa, with fewer than 300 individuals in both parts.

Following the anticipated end of tighter COVID- 19 measures under Phase 2 ( Heightened Alert ), the National Day Parade was moved to Aug. 21.

1,200 participants in the parade were required to pass COVID- 19 screening before entering performance areas, and they were divided into smaller groups during rehearsals and performances. Due to concerns about pandemic health, cards were also made unavailable for public voting.
