November 2025 marked a significant period of engagement for SEAB, as we welcomed both international and local partners to deepen collaborative relationships and share insights into Singapore's assessment landscape.

SEAB welcomes Cambridge delegation
On 5 to 7 November 2025, SEAB hosted a delegation from Cambridge, comprising Mr Jonathan Griffiths, Principal Assessment Advisor (Singapore), International Education, Mr Simon Plummer, Senior Ministry Partnership Manager, and Mr Darren Skates, Project Manager.

The three-day visit provided Cambridge delegates with comprehensive insights into SEAB's examination processes and digital systems. The delegation received detailed demonstrations of SEAB's question paper authoring system and coursework management platform, which handles digital submissions from schools through to assessment and moderation stages. One of the demonstrations included how physical coursework could be digitised for Cambridge's marking processes.
The Cambridge team observed SEAB's complete scripts handling workflow, from receiving papers from schools to scanning operations, and engaged in discussions about potential process improvements. They also visited Hwa Chong Institution to witness a live e-Examination in progress, gaining on-the-ground perspective of how digital examinations are conducted in schools.
Other highlights included a tour of SEAB's Heritage Gallery, showcasing the longstanding partnership between Singapore and Cambridge, and demonstrations of the eMarking system and live marking exercises using the Onscreen Marking (OSM) platform. The delegation also participated in discussions on Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC) implementation, syllabus development, and other assessment matters.
The visit strengthened the ongoing partnership between SEAB and Cambridge, providing both parties with opportunities to enhance their collaborative efforts in examination and assessment services.
Knowledge exchange in action - Cambridge delegates gained firsthand insights into SEAB's exam operations, assessment practices and the rich sustained partnership between Cambridge and Singapore.
The visit from Cambridge delegates proved that work and fun go hand in hand - from formal discussions to memorable meals and visits in Singapore.
SEAB welcomes MOE colleagues for learning visits
SEAB was pleased to host MOE colleagues across two engagement visits in November 2025. The sessions were part of our ongoing efforts to build stronger partnerships with schools and enhance understanding of SEAB’s operations and innovations. The first visit on 17 November 2025 was led by Zonal Directors from Schools Division, Mr Andrew Lim (South Zone) and Ms Theodora Tan (West Zone). The group comprised Cluster Superintendents and Special Assistants from the North, South, and West Zones. On 21 November 2025, SEAB welcomed a second group comprising School Leaders from the East Zone.

Visitors were first taken on an engaging tour of SEAB’s Heritage Gallery, followed by a series of presentations and demonstrations about SEAB’s work, from the intricate processes of onscreen marking to a deeper understanding of e-Examinations and adaptive testing tools. Visitors from the North, South and West Zones also gained valuable insights into Social Studies assessment through a rare opportunity to observe live onscreen marking sessions and interact with markers.

The visits offered opportunities for MOE colleagues to gain a deeper appreciation of the systems, processes and innovations that enable SEAB to uphold examination integrity and assessment quality at the national level. The sessions also provided valuable space for open dialogue, sparking meaningful conversations about evolving assessment needs, and how schools and SEAB can work together to shape the future of assessment. MOE colleagues also recognised SEAB for the professional conduct of examinations, operational and administrative efficiency, and continuous support provided to schools, while always keeping the students’ and teachers’ well-being in mind.
SEAB looks forward to continuing these engagements and fostering closer partnerships with MOE as we collectively support student assessment and national education goals.
