Foreword
The National Heritage Board (NHB) has a bevy of exciting
exhibitions and programmes planned for 2016. With the recognition
of key competencies necessary to thrive in the 21st century, we are
continually working to ensure that our content and programming
remains at cutting edge of heritage education. We have actively
partnered with the Ministry of Education, Early Childhood
Development Agency and an array of educators, schools,
institutions and educational organisations to provide engaging
and quality learning experience to enable teachers and students
to discover Singapore’s shared history and heritage to achieve the
Desired Outcomes of Education. This brochure is intended as a
one-stop, easy referencing tool for educators to peruse the various
events and activities our museums and institutions have to offer.
