Second chance in Prison School yields two A1s for inmate who took O levels

SINGAPORE - Richard never thought he would get a second chance to retake the O-level examinations again.

Dr Faishal visited the school, which is located in Institution Tanah Merah 1, and met some of the students who sat the exam."The students shared with me that their education journey here has made them learn about the values of discipline, and the need to focus and work hard... all this is consistent to what is needed in rehabilitation."

Richard shared that after his daily classes, he would spend about an hour revising after dinner. Whenever he had questions during revision that his cell mates could not answer, he would ask the question out loud across other cells and wait for someone to give him the answer.Ms Nor Aishah Mohamed Salleh, 43, joined Prison School as a biology teacher in January last year after teaching in mainstream schools for 18 years.

Safety concerns, high bus fees and heavy school bags among reasons cited by parents for driving children to schoolSINGAPORE — Safety concerns, high school bus fares and heavy school bags were among some of the reasons cited by parents here for choosing to brave traffic congestion and drive their children to school instead of letting them take the school bus, public transport or walk there instead. These parents are just ridiculous. How did they grow up then? Were their parents the same? When the kids are home , you make time for them to bond not in the car. You need to let your children grow up and instil confidence and trust. BS. These problems were also faced by parents back then. Yet, they didnt drove their kids to school. How about drivers of 2 seater cars and sports cars. Why do they drive at all? They should be taking public transport. As compared to school kids they’re clearly of age to take public transport!
