FutureSchools@Singapore was developed to serve as peaks of excellence in an ability-driven education paradigm, and to encourage innovation and enterprise in schools. These schools will not only enhance the diversity of educational offerings to cater to learners' needs but provide possible models for the seamless and pervasive integration of infocomm technology that includes interactive digital media. By harnessing infocomm technology in the education sector through innovative pedagogies and flexible learning environments, schools will be able to achieve higher levels of engagement of their students who already have an infocomm-integrated lifestyle. Thus, students will be equipped with the essential skills to be effective workers and citizens in the globalised, digital workplace of the future.

FutureSchools@Singapore
FutureSchools@Singapore are distinguished by their capacity to leverage on state-of-the-art infocomm technologies and innovative school designs to enable efficient administrative practices and innovative school-wide educational programmes to bring about engaged learning for students. In addition, these schools will collaborate with industry partners and serve as test-beds for research and development on infocomm in education.
The FutureSchools@Singapore will go beyond using infocomm technologies to enhance existing curriculum and pedagogies. Additionally, infocomm-enabled pedagogies will be developed, while curriculum and assessment will be re-designed to fully leverage on infocomm technologies to bring about engaged learning for the students.
FutureSchools@Singapore will equip our students holistically with the essential skills to be effective workers and citizens in the globalised and digital workplace of the future. These schools would be defined by the key enabling components as depicted in the framework.
