National Education

Discover how Mayflower Secondary School nurtures active citizens through National Education, building students' sense of belonging and understanding of Singapore's unique challenges.

Last updated on 1 September 2026

National Education (NE) comprises a wide range of school efforts that help students experience and explore their national identity as Singaporeans, understand the realities and challenges unique to our nation, and foster a sense of hope and belonging to Singapore. These efforts engender the will to act and mould our Mayflowerians to be active contributors to the community in Singapore and the world.

NE in Mayflower aims to be empowering and aspirational, allowing for individual sense-making to nurture engaged citizens who are socially aware, adept at critical thinking, and informed about local, regional, and global issues.
