Students collecting their national examination results may do so in person this year, but are expected to observe safe management measures.
The Ministry of Education and the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board said on Tuesday that they "recognise that being able to collect their examination results in person is an important part of the educational journey for many students".
This year’s collection of results will be held in small groups in individual classrooms, instead of large crowded venues like the school hall. Students will be required to sign in via SafeEntry and be screened for fever and flu-like symptoms.
