After the visit, Mdm President the following on her facebook post:
Every student deserves access to holistic education regardless of their learning abilities. It is important that we work together as a community to ensure no student is left behind.
I visited Metta School and am heartened to see the various and interesting learning opportunities the school has to offer for their students. The school uses virtual reality to teach students executing daily activities like reloading of their EZ-link card or a trip to the supermarket. I was also impressed by the students who showed me their baking and cooking skills in the vocational training rooms. I look forward to these students being gainfully employed in the future.
Metta School staff and stakeholders will continue to work together to empower our students, to fulfil our vision for our students to become independent and lead meaningful life.
