ister of State for Education Sun Xueling.

Ms Sun added that it is important for students to process their emotions and feelings, and be aware that a peer support culture is available in schools whereby they can talk through these situations. Then Education Minister Ong Ye Kung said the refreshed CCE curriculum came about as a result of a review that started in 2016.

Senior teacher Wan Fazithahariani, who teaches English and conducted the class, said that compared to five years ago, students now face a lot more pressures online so the emphasis on cyber wellness together with mental health will help them cope with these challenges.
