A new Edusave Character Award will be introduced to recognise students who have exemplary values, to encourage character development among children. Announcing this in Parliament on Thursday, Education Minister Heng Swee Keat said that the existing Edusave awards are tilted towards academic achievements. 'As we place more emphasis on holistic education and character development, it is timely that we align our recognition framework,' he said. The award, to be given out by schools and Institutes of Technical Education, will recognise students with values such as resilience and tenacity, integrity, care, respect and civic responsibility. Up to 10,000 students will receive this award each year. They will get $200 to $500 each.
