How to Align Your Enrichment Programme with MOE/CCE Frameworks

🏫 Did you know your enrichment programme could fail MOE approval — even if it’s great? Here’s how to ensure alignment that wins hearts and tenders.

Why Alignment Matters

Every year, Singapore schools invest thousands of hours and dollars into enrichment. Yet when tender evaluations arrive, some programmes fail to meet CCE alignment — not because the ideas aren’t good, but because documentation and outcome mapping fall short.

Understanding how to design for alignment saves schools time and helps vendors (like WAN.Cognition) deliver measurable impact.

The CCE Framework in Brief

The Character and Citizenship Education Framework (MOE 2014) identifies six core values: respect, responsibility, resilience, integrity, care, and harmony.
It also embeds three domains of learning — self, others, and nation.

For a programme to be “aligned,” it should clearly show how activities nurture these values and competencies.

Steps to Ensure Alignment

  1. Define Desired Outcomes – What specific behaviour change do you seek?

  2. Map Activities to Values – e.g., teamwork exercises → respect & care.

  3. Integrate Reflection – Journals or sharing circles help internalise lessons.

  4. Include Assessment Tools – Pre/post surveys demonstrate measurable impact.

  5. Document Everything – A structured proposal referencing CCE keywords helps with GeBIZ compliance.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Treating CCE alignment as a checkbox exercise.

  • Overloading students with content instead of experience.

  • Ignoring teacher feedback and student voice.

The CCE ethos values reflection and citizenship, not rigidity. Flexibility and cultural relevance matter more than perfect templates.

How WAN.Cognition Ensures CCE Compliance

Every programme we design is mapped to the CCE values matrix and includes three layers of documentation:

  1. Proposal Deck – Shows alignment of objectives and learning outcomes.

  2. Facilitator Guide – Ensures consistent delivery across schools.

  3. Post-Programme Report – Summarises feedback and impact metrics.

This structure not only supports tender success on GeBIZ but also enhances accountability to stakeholders.

Building a Culture of Alignment

True alignment happens when teachers see CCE as a shared responsibility. Encourage faculty to co-design programmes with vendors, ensuring that each activity reinforces daily school values.
