In
Dec 1998, the Ministry of Education announced that an Advisory
Council named COMPASS (Community and Parents in Support of Schools)
would be set up. COMPASS will advise the Ministry on ways in
which school-home-community collaborations in education can
be strengthened.
The Ministry wants to engage parents and the community as partners
in education. Schools need the support of the home and the community
to develop the child to his full potential and to bring him
up as a useful citizen. Schools can only succeed in developing
good character and instilling sound values if parents and the
community reinforce the same values imparted in school.
COMPASS will actively encourage parents and the community to
work together with schools to help children learn better. It
will be a forum where the best practices on collaborative efforts
of school, home and community are surfaced, shared and promoted.
COMPASS is chaired by the Minister for Education, RAdm Teo Chee
Hean and draws its members from amongst principals, parents
and the community.
