What is SSLC?
​
The Singapore Student Leaders' Conference (SSLC) is a platform for student leaders in Singapore to come together to envision, explore, discuss and exchange thoughts for the creation and implementation of improvements to our education policies. Guided by ministers, we hope to produce innovative and feasible policies that will better the Singaporean community. This conference builds a bridge between the country’s leaders and the leaders of tomorrow and in the process, enabling a more profound examination and comprehension of present national educational policies.
​
This is significant in the aspect that
1. Bond - Student leaders and representatives of all Singaporean tertiary schools can meet together and create a strong bond with one another, potentially critical for future educational objectives.
2. Self-Criticism - Allow the students to identify actual problems and practical solutions to the current education system, from the student's point of view
3. Identification - Allow the Ministry of Education to have a chance to take into consideration of the various perspectives and voices from the students themselves, revealing the hidden reality potentially only seen by students.
4. Execution - Allow the student leaders to execute the agreed actions in the conference in their respective schools, nurturing them further as leaders, even if they might not be taken as legislative policies.
Our Mission
​
Think Within, Act Beyond
​
In convening this conference we hope, as students, to gain a greater awareness of how our actions can lend and contribute to the building of something greater than our individual selves. By close of this conference we hope that participants will be able to take away skills that are essential to attaining higher levels of professional mobility later in life such as critical thinking and coherent thought presentation skills. By pooling our collective efforts and thoughts together we aim to provide a setting in which we all have the opportunity to let our ideas be heard and to perhaps to even see them take flight as parts of our national educational policies.
Why should you take part?
​
"Think within"
As young men and women thrust into a new millennia, it is inevitable that we see the usurping of old concepts and the replacing of the archaic with ideas that we now consider progressive and fitting for our zeitgeist. Our conference aims to encourage you to determine whether it would be within our power as students to initiate change on a level that outstrips the struggles taking place within the confinements of our schoolyards.
​
"Act beyond"
Entrusted to positions of power and also the responsibility to uphold the good name of our respective institutions, student leaders have to recognise the challenges faced not only by themselves as individuals, but also to weigh in on how their actions could in the long run be of direct benefit to the school community and perhaps even society as a whole.
