Drama in Curriculum SG Campaign
Advocating for Drama Education to have a greater presence in Singapore's primary school curriculum
Our Cause
In response to a parliamentary question by NMP Usha Chandradas (see here in full), The Ministry of Education stated that they will “continue to review how drama can be used in schools to support the holistic development of students”.
Drama is vital and empowering. It builds confidence, curiosity, and cultivates empathy and understanding. It equips young people with the tools to navigate a divisive and ever-changing world, enables more active learning and nurtures social and emotional well-being. Drama creates more holistic and inclusive leaders for the future.
Currently, art and music education are provided for all students in primary schools and at the lower-secondary level. We believe drama should be a part of that too, for the holistic development of not just students, but all future Singaporeans.
