By

21st

age,
the
Primary

21st
Century
Competencies
Globalization,
changing
demographics
and
technological
advancements
are
some
of
the
key
driving
forces
of
the
future.
Our
students
will
have
to
be
prepared
to
face
these
challenges
and
seize
the
opportunities
brought
about
by
these
forces.
To
help
our
students
thrive
in
a
fast-­‐changing
world,
MOE
has
identified
competencies
that
have
become
increasingly
important
in
the
21st
Century.
These
competencies,
represented
in
the
following
framework,
underpin
the
holistic
education
that
our
schools
provide
to
better
prepare
our
students
for
the
future.
It
is
envisaged
that
schools
and
parents
need
to
work
hand-­‐in-­‐hand
to
help
our
students
develop
these
21st
Century
Competencies.

21st
Century
Competencies
Knowledge
and
skills
must
be
underpinned
by
values.
Values
define
a
person’s
character.
They
shape
the
beliefs,
attitudes
and
actions
of
a
person,
and
therefore
form
the
core
of
the
framework
of
21st
Century
Competencies.
The
middle
ring
signifies
the
Social
and
Emotional
Competencies
–
skills
necessary
for
children
to
recognize
and
manage
their
emotions,
develop
care
and
concern
for
others,
make
responsible
decisions,
establish
positive
relationships,
as
well
as
handle
challenging
situations
effectively.
The
outer
ring
of
the
framework
represents
the
emerging
21st

necessary
for
the
globalized
world
we
live
in.
These
are:
a) Civic
Literacy,
Global
Awareness
and
Cross-­‐Cultural
Skills;
b) Critical
and
Inventive
Thinking;
c) Communication,
Collaboration
and
Information
Skills
Together,
these
competencies
will
enable
our
young
to
capitalize
on
the
rich
opportunities
of
the
new
digital
age,
while
keeping
a
strong
Singapore
heartbeat.

The inner circle centering on life skills ensures that students acquire sound
values and skills to take them through life as responsible adults and active
citizens. It comprises the non-academic curriculum.

information and be able to express their thoughts and ideas clearly and
effectively. It comprises skills-based subjects.
