National Digital Literacy Programme
At MOE’s Committee of Supply Debate in March 2020, MOE launched the National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP) for our schools and Institutes of Higher Learning to help students strengthen their digital literacy.
One of the components of the NDLP is the introduction of the Personalised Digital Learning Programme (PDLP) for all secondary school students, whereby every secondary school student will own a school-prescribed Personal Learning Device (PLD).
The PLD Initiative
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 to personalise and enhance students’ learning. This will also enable students to acquire digital skills and apply these skills as they navigate an increasingly digitalised world.

3-year Apple Care+
Every iPad comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its one-year limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary technical support. AppleCare+ extends your iPad, Apple Pencil and Apple-branded iPad keyboard coverage to two years from your AppleCare+ purchase date and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage protection every 12 months. Each incident is subject to a service fee of S$68 for iPad and S$42 for Apple Pencil or Apple-branded iPad keyboard.
Intent to Purchase
A Parent Gateway (PG) notification with details on the procurement of the PLD has also been sent to parents/ guardians. Please refer to the notification for more information.
Parents/Guardians without Singpass and Parent Gateway can request for the hardcopy letter via your child’s/ward’s form teacher.
After-school DMA Parent Options
Device Management Application (DMA) software is installed in students’ PLDs to provide a safer digital learning environment, and to prevent misuse of the device. Parents/guardians can choose between these 3 options to suit their preferences for managing the PLDs after school hours:
-
School will inform parents about how to select their After-School DMA Parent Options.
-
Parents can request to change their DMA option subsequently via the link https://go.gov.sg/btysschangeofdmaoptions. The request will be processed by the school on a termly basis.
*Applications installed by parents/guardians and/or students after school hours will be disabled during school hours
