Can my child not purchase the device?
Every student is required to have a device for teaching and learning purposes and is encouraged to purchase one through the school via MOE bulk tender. Students are encouraged to use the device model prescribed by the school, as the uniformity of systems and software would ensure a smooth learning experience for everyone. The device purchased through the school will come with the necessary warranty and insurance as well.
Students who do not wish to purchase a device because they already have their own devices still have to complete and submit Annex D: Intent to Purchase Personal Learning Device (PLD) form at go.gov.sg/pdlpadmin with relevant option selected. The school will then contact you on the assessment of suitability of the device for PDLP. Take note these existing devices must also be installed with a Device Management Application (DMA) software to provide a safe learning experience for the students.
