Questions about the Personal Digital Learning Programme

Updated by STPATRICKS

Every student is required to have a PLD for teaching and learning purposes and is encouraged to purchase one through the school via MOE's bulk tender procured at discounted prices. Students are strongly encouraged to use the PLD model prescribed by the school, as the uniformity of systems and software would ensure a smooth learning experience for everyone. The PLD purchased through the school will come with the necessary warranty and insurance as well.

Students who do not wish to purchase a PLD because they already have their own devices will have to check with the school to ascertain whether the specifications of their existing devices meet the schools' requirements. These existing devices must also be installed with a Device Management Application (DMA) software to provide a safe learning experience for them and to prevent misuse of the devices.

The DMA is fully funded by the school and will be uninstalled from the devices when they graduate/leave the school.
