Ensuring Equitable Access to AI Tools and Digital Teaching Support Across Schools

84 Dr Wan Rizal asked the Minister for Education how the Ministry is ensuring equitable access to AI tools and digital teaching support across all schools, including those with fewer resources or more challenging student profiles.

Mr Desmond Lee: The Ministry of Education provides centralised support to all schools so that they can access artificial intelligence (AI) tools and digital teaching support in a meaningful way. All schools are supported with funding for the necessary digital learning infrastructure, such as wireless networks, resourcing of computing devices and the necessary software for staff and students.

Students have access to the Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS), the national online learning platform which provides students with curriculum-aligned resources from primary to pre-university level. They also have access to AI-enabled features in SLS, such as Speech Evaluation Tool, Learning Feedback Assistants and an Adaptive Learning System, to support their learning in a safe and customised manner.
