A Word to Teachers and Pupils
" It is my hope that as we develop the minds of our young to be original thinkers who are also innovative and creative, we will also be able to inculcate values and the right attitudes. Indeed, as our young develop as creative and innovative individuals in their own right, it will warm the heart greatly to see them as civic-minded people who make use of their many gifts and talents to contribute to their family, friends and the community. My wish is also to see our potential artists, writers, scientists and inventors develop themselves to the best of their ability and, in turn, inspire others to progress in the same direction. " BY MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND 2ND MINISTER FOR DEFENCE, RADM TEO CHEE HEAN,
