MOE ExCEL Fest 2014

MOE ExCEL Fest is an annual event that celebrates and shares exciting and innovative practices in schools. It is also a platform for parents and members of the public to find out more about the latest developments in our education landscape.

This year, it will be held on 11 (MOE Staff) and 12 April (Public) at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre Halls 401-402.

The theme for MOE ExCEL Fest 2014 is “Valuing Every Child, Learning For Life”. It expresses MOE's focus on delivering a student-centric education that cultivates in every child, a positive learning disposition that will enable them to become self-directed learners equipped for lifelong learning. Every child is different. They learn in different ways, and at different pace. By nurturing every child, we help them to realise their fullest potential.

Come and be enthralled by a diverse offering of ideas and learning resources at the exhibition booths, by our schools. Pick up practical tips on a myriad of educational topics at the various sharing sessions and seminars by our educators. Walk through the MOE Pavilion where you can learn more about MOE’s focus on building a student-centric and values-driven education. There will be many fun-filled fringe activities too!
