Posting on Facebook as well, Education Minister Heng Swee Keat praised students for their “tenacity” in balancing their school work and extra-curricular activities. This was what he wrote:
My best wishes to all students who received your GCE A-Level exam results today. Juggling schoolwork with other interests in and outside of school is not easy, but many of you displayed tenacity and did your best. Whether the results are better or worse than what you have been expecting, do remember that this is one stage of your lifelong learning – keep learning!
I am pleased to read how our students are helping one another – like Tuan Ding Wei from Innova Junior College who volunteered to help his friends in Mathematics, or Muhammad Azfar B Thaha from Pioneer Junior College who shared his understanding of the more difficult concepts with his friends.
This spirit of helping one another to do well is commendable. Take a moment to thank those who have helped you come this far, be they your friends, teachers or parents. All the best for your next stage of learning!
