NEU PC Plus Programme

Secondary school students will no longer be eligible to apply with effect from 1 Jan 2022

As shared by then-Minister of Education, Lawrence Wong on 29 Dec 2020, all Secondary school students will own a Personal Learning Device (PLD) under MOE’s National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP) by end of 2021.

In view that all secondary school students will own a PLD under MOE’s Digital Literacy Programme, secondary school students will no longer be eligible to apply for the NEU PC Plus (NPP) programme with effect from 1 Jan 2022. For appeals by Secondary 5 students to apply for NPP, we will take it on a case by case basis.

Extend waiver of community service for iNSPIRE Fund till 31 Mar 2022

Since 8 Apr 2021, IMDA has worked with our partners to provide additional support under the NPP programme for families with school-going children during the Covid-19 situation. In view that the primary school students are not vaccinated yet, we take a more cautious approach and will waive the community service requirement for iNSPIRE Fund till 31 Mar 2022.
