Green Chemistry Breakthroughs Are Impacting Learning Habits In Singapore.
The future of chemistry is unfolding right now, and it is greener than ever. In Singapore, sustainability is not an abstract idea but part of the classroom. The Ministry of Education (MOE) integrates green chemistry principles directly into the pre-university curriculum through case-based learning. A 2025 study involving 18 chemistry teachers from 17 schools showed that experiential lessons enriched with sustainability concepts improved both teaching quality and student engagement. This reflects the Singapore Science Curriculum Framework, which emphasises Science for Life and Society . The framework calls for scientific literacy that combines knowledge, ethical responsibility, and sustainable practices. For JC and secondary students, this means chemistry is no longer just about formulas but also about reimagining how science can solve global challenges without harming the environment. What Green Chemistry Means in Simple Words Chemistry can be thought of as a toolbox. Traditional...
