A winning project on horseshoe crabs by Institute of Technical Education (ITE) students exemplified the “joy of learning” and “entrepreneurial dare” the education system was seeking to cultivate, said Education Minister Ng Chee Meng.

A shared passion for conservation drove students Eunos Chong, Douglas Yii, Dave Chong and Nurul Hanna Abdul Yakob to go beyond what was required for their final-year project.
