SINGAPORE – When it was first known some years ago that Yusof Ishak Secondary School would be moving to a new campus in Punggol, the school’s leaders sprang into action.

The Ministry of Education said in a press statement that Yusof Ishak Secondary School’s redevelopment shows how innovative school design can support learning beyond the traditional classroom and illustrates how schools and learning spaces will be designed in future.
