It’s been an unusual year for our kids. COVID-19 has disrupted school and upended familiar routines.
Parents know how resilient children can be, but it still makes us proud to see how bravely and responsibly our young ones have adapted – wearing masks in classrooms, getting used to home-based learning, forgoing birthday parties with friends, and celebrating the usual festivals and events, like Children’s Day, a little differently.
This year’s edition of the annual photo contest by Ministry of Education, Singapore, “Our Schools, Our Stories”, captures images of school life before and after COVID-19. A roving exhibition of the winning photos is going to 7 locations around the island until 1 March 2021. Do catch it if you can!
The pandemic has turned out to be the biggest and most important lesson this year for our children. I think everyone deserves an A+ for your response!
I wish everyone a very happy Children’s Day! – LHL
