National OAE (NOAE) Masterplan

The NOAE Masterplan was announced during Budget and Committee of Supply (COS) 2016 to promote holistic development for all youths through an OAE pathway from primary to post-secondary school level. All primary and secondary school students are equipped with outdoor living skills and knowledge through the Outdoor Education (OE) in Physical Education (PE) Curriculum introduced in 2014. They are provided with authentic outdoor environments through 2 to 3 school cohort camps at upper primary and secondary levels.
