EDUSAVE Character Award (ECHA)
MOE has introduced a
new Edusave Character Award (ECHA) to
enable schools to recognise students who demonstrate exemplary character and
outstanding personal qualities through their behaviour and actions. This is part of the larger goal to foster an
inclusive and stronger Singapore
as we broaden the qualities and achievements to be encouraged and applauded.
The award also supports schools’ continuing efforts in nurturing students of
good values and character, who are active contributors and concerned citizens.
Eligibility Criteria
The ECHA is meant to recognise
and affirm students who demonstrated exemplary character and
outstanding personal qualities through their behaviour and actions. Students must satisfy the following eligibility
criteria before they can be given the ECHA:
The Edusave
Character Award is open to pupils from all levels.
(a) Students must be Singaporeans studying in
government/ government-aided primary or secondary schools, independent schools,
specialised independent schools, specialised schools or junior colleges/
centralised institute (JC/CI); and
(b) Students must, on a consistent basis, demonstrate good character and values. In particular, students may be identified for
demonstrating the following types of qualities:
(i)
School values and/or character traits
that the school wishes to recognise or encourage, e.g. respect, integrity,
care, harmony; and/or
(ii)
A high level of civic responsibility. These would be students who are concerned
about issues in the community or issues faced by others, initiating action to
address these issues to improve the lives of others, and being committed to
make a positive difference; and/or overcome the odds and still do commendably
well in academic and non-academic domains.

Qualities associated with resilience. These would be students who have persevered despite
facing difficult circumstances (e.g. financial problems, family issues, health
issues etc.), and have managed to overcome the odds.
