In Singapore, all secondary schools and junior colleges will implement blended learning for at least two days a month for some levels from the second half of this year.
This means that students will have a mix of home-based and in-school activities, involving both online and offline learning methods.
Education Minister Lawrence Wong had said that home based learning reinforced the need for students to be more adaptable, self-directed and independent.
The Ministry of Education said that it is providing professional development opportunities for teachers to prepare for the rollout of blended learning this year.
Teachers will also have resources and guidance from the ministry on how to design HBL days, and guidelines for curriculum coverage and student-initiated learning.
