“Transforming Education through Technology” Masterplan 2030

Gain insights on the strategic focus of our “Transforming Education through Technology” Masterplan 2030.

Overview

To harness the transformative potential of technology in education, MOE has launched the “Transforming Education through Technology” Masterplan 2030 or “EdTech Masterplan 2030” for short, which outlines how schools can better leverage technology to enhance teaching and learning.

The EdTech Masterplan 2030 builds on the previous 2020 EdTech Plan and ICT Masterplans, and addresses the opportunities and challenges of the post-COVID landscape, where technology has become a critical enabler of learning.

Vision

The vision of the EdTech Masterplan 2030 is "Technology-transformed learning, to prepare students for a technology-transformed world".
