The main Chinese newspaper in Singapore, Lianhe Zaobao, also featured Parvinjit and Mark in an article that was published on 18 October 2016. You can read the article written in Mandarin Chinese here.
Singapore’s highest-selling newspaper, The Straits Times, also published an article on how Jeyaram helped Mr Caleb Tay, who had lost over 80 per cent of his sight by the time he reached St Gabriel’s Secondary School, fulfil his potential and achieve seven distinctions in his GCE ‘O’ Level examinations. You can read their wonderful story here.
We hope that the awards will not only encourage the winners to achieve greater heights, but will also inspire all educators who serve in the early childhood and special needs sector to continue winning with honour by always giving their best to make a positive difference in the lives of those they serve.
