Students with hearing or speech-related developmental needs can remove masks during some lessons
Some students with hearing or speech-related developmental needs can remove their masks during language and literacy lessons from Tuesday (Mar 29) as Singapore moves to ease COVID-19 restrictions.
In online slot games, new games are designed to feature a lot of functionality and features.
For a start, these students with developmental needs include those in Ministry of Education (MOE) kindergartens, mainstream primary schools and special education schools up to Primary 4 or equivalent.
The relaxed rules also apply to mainstream primary school students who are in the learning support programme, mother tongue support programme and reading remediation programme, said MOE and the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA).
They added that government-funded early intervention centres running the Early Intervention Programme for Children and Infants (EIPIC) can also opt to provide mask-off teaching for children who have hearing or speech-related development needs during language and literacy lessons.
“The perception and articulation of speech sounds is an important aspect of early language development,” said MOE and ECDA.
“The mask-off option will allow students who require more support in their acquisition and development of languages to benefit from a multisensory pedagogical approach with visual and auditory cues.”
