Personalised Digital Learning Programme (PDLP)
Find out how your child can get a Personal Learning Device under the PDLP, and what parents need to do to complete the purchase and access financial aid.
National Digital Literacy Programme
At MOE’s Committee of Supply Debate in March 2020, MOE launched the National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP) for our schools to help students strengthen their digital literacy. One of the components of the NDLP is the introduction of the Personalised Digital Learning Programme (PDLP) for all secondary school students, whereby every secondary school student will own a school-prescribed Personal Learning Device (PLD) by end-2021.
Personal Learning Device
Personal Learning Devices (PLDs) will truly transform the learning environment as it allows teachers and students to harness technology for greater effectiveness in teaching and learning. The use of the personal learning devices for teaching and learning will support the development of digital literacies in our students as well as develop them as self-directed and collaborative learners.
SGS has selected the Acer TravelMate Spin B3 as its PLD offering . Despite its small size, it is feature packed with a responsive 12.2″ touchscreen and upgraded components like its CPU, RAM and storage. With 4 years of warranty and insurance coverage, it offers superb value for money and will provide students with many good years of learning and productivity.
Important Actions For Parents (Sec 1 2026)
Parents/guardians will receive a letter from the school via Parents’ Gateway or hardcopy with details about the purchase of PLD by 9 January 2026.
Please submit the following consent forms in order for the school to begin processing the purchase of a PLD for your child/ward.
Intent to Purchase PLD
Edusave Withdrawal (for SC only)
For more information, please access the Parent Engagement slides.
Device Management Application
Device management application (DMA) software will be installed on your child's device to provide a safe learning experience for your child, and to prevent misuse of the device.
The DMA will be funded by MOE and will be uninstalled from the device when the child graduates/leaves the school.
Acceptable Use Policy
Parents can refer to the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) when helping to manage your child's use of PLD. The AUP will help your child understand the expectations of device use to enable a conducive learning environment.

Financial Assistance
Subsidies are available for students who require funding support to purchase a PLD. Please note that it is compulsory for all students on the MOE Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) to use their Edusave to pay for any remaining sums due for the PLD, after subsidies have been granted.
