Key initiatives
Enhancing access to sports
To encourage our seniors to be active, Singaporeans aged 65 and above will get free access to ActiveSG gyms and pools from April 2020. The Team Nila Silver Champions scheme will also allow seniors to volunteer at ActiveSG Sport Centres.
Under the Children and Youth Sport Framework, SportSG will continue to partner MOE and schools to provide more opportunities for our children and youth to access sports. More preschoolers will benefit from a programme to develop their fundamental movement skills. Students will have the opportunity to be exposed to different sports, or pursue Athletics and Ethnic Dance even if they are not offered in their schools as CCAs.
Increasing opportunities for youth
Students in ITEs, polytechnics and universities will have more opportunities to visit ASEAN, China and India under the new Asia-Ready Exposure Programme. NYC will work with schools to co-curate programmes that will best meet their learning objectives. There will be funding for overseas accommodation, meals and airfare.
Greater access to arts & culture
As part of Museum-Based Learning, all Primary 6 and Secondary 2 students will visit the Asian Civilisations Museum and National Museum of Singapore respectively, to understand our history and heritage better.
The new WeCare Arts Experiences will enable the less privileged to attend quality ticketed arts shows for free.
