Personalised Digital Literacy Programme (PDLP)

Secondary one students would be invited to purchase a school-prescribed PLD. Students who are Singapore Citizens can use their Edusave Account to pay for the PLD.
The PLD will be used in tandem with the national e-learning platform – the Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS) – as well as other educational technology tools to personalise and enhance students’ learning.
