Conclusion
Home-School Partnership for Our Children
When a child starts schooling,
parents and teachers need to
work hand in hand to reinforce
the values taught, both at home
and in school. In this way, the
same message is sent and pupils
know clearly what is expected of
them. Mr Heng Swee Keat, Former Minister for Education
School leaders, teachers and
parents alike, may need to learn
how to selectively stand back and
be an observer rather than
intervene too early, so that our
students can learn over time to be
resilient learners.Mr Ng Chee Meng, Minister for Education
What role do we as educators & parents have to play?
Enjoy the journey of learning with your child
