Pre-U Seminar

The Pre-University (Pre-U) Seminar is the annual platform which usually takes place in June, where students from different educational institutions come together to achieve a better understanding of issues relevant to Singapore’s progress. The seminar was launched in 1970 and is jointly organised by the Ministry of Education and a Pre-U institution.

Every year, about 20 SP students will be selected to represent SP in the seminar where more than 500 nominated students from 30 pre-university institution will gather to discuss, brainstorm and present ideas on a given theme.

Co-organised by the Ministry of Education and Dunman High School, the theme for this year's seminar is 'Forging Our Way Forward'. Students will have the opportunity to engage in rich dialogue on Singapore's development, national identity and values, as well as its place in the world amidst global complexities. Through rich discussions and interactions with people of diverse backgrounds, students will glean insights into a range of issues, policies, and perspectives, to enable them to envision and co-create our shared future together.

The seminar includes dialogue sessions with experts from the people, private, public, and academic sectors, learning journeys, as well as panel discussions to deepen students' understanding about their chosen sub-theme through the rich perspectives and experiences of their fellow Singaporeans. The seminar will culminate in a showcase of the students' Solution Proposals in an exhibition during the Closing Ceremony, where they will present their vision for SG75.
