MOE lessons on Israel-Hamas war aim to help students reflect on safeguarding cohesion, respecting diverse views: Chan Chun Sing
In response to queries from TODAY, the ministry said on Friday that teachers do not impose their personal views,"nor do they advocate for the interests of any particular parties involved in the conflict". The lessons also aim to help students learn how to verify information sources before sharing them responsibly, and to “appreciate the diversity of views and conduct conversations sensitively and respectfully”.
"It pains us, including our young, who feel for humanity. We hope and pray for peace. Not just a temporary ceasefire, or the end of the conflict only, but a long-term solution: A two-state solution where Palestinians and Israelis can live in peace. This is not easy, to say the least. Many have tried and failed, but what other choice is there?
“I think we have to go back to what's the purpose of the CCE lessons,” he said, emphasising that these are not intended to be history lessons.
