3. The DOE are translated into a set of developmental outcomes for each
key stage of our education system. The Key Stage Outcomes spell out what the
Education Service aspires to develop in our students through Primary,
Secondary, and Post-Secondary2 education. Each educational level builds upon
the previous stages and lays the foundation for subsequent ones. For example,
primary school students start by learning to know and love Singapore. In doing
so, their belief in Singapore will be strengthened and they will understand what
matters to Singapore by secondary school. They will grow to be proud of Singapore and understand our country within the global context at the postsecondary
level.
