This year’s celebration carried the theme “@21: Charting New Chapters,” a tribute to SEAB’s remarkable journey and an exciting look ahead to its future. As SEAB turns 21, it is not just about marking the passage of time but also acknowledging the growth and transformation that has shaped SEAB into what it is today. From our beginnings in 2004, when we were entrusted with the task of developing and conducting national examinations in Singapore, SEAB has evolved into a key player in the nation’s educational landscape. The celebration was made even more special with heartfelt speeches by Chief Executive of SEAB, Mr Yue Lip Sin, and SEAB Board Chairman, Mr Wong Siew Hoong, who both reflected on SEAB’s journey, their appreciation to stakeholders and staff who contributed to the various transformations and outcomes, and shared their aspirations for its future.

As highlighted in the speeches by Mr Yue and Mr Wong, SEAB’s evolution is a testament to the dedication of its people and the trust placed in us by our stakeholders. Our ongoing commitment to excellence in assessments and education services has been the driving force behind SEAB’s evolution, and our journey is far from over.
