1.2 Personal Learning Device (PLD)
School of Science and Technology, Singapore (SST) is a one-to-one school where every student uses a Macbook for their learning. The Macbook can be used with the national e-learning platform – the Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS) – and other educational technology to personalise and enhance students’ learning.

The school has arranged for parents/guardians to purchase the Macbook from a vendor for their child/ward’s use in school. The vendor has been identified based on the device chosen by the school from a panel of awarded suppliers established by MOE.
