SEAB Heritage Gallery - A Story of Exams

SEAB Heritage Gallery

The SEAB Heritage Gallery is located in our building at 298 Jalan Bukit Ho Swee.

The specially curated exhibition is divided into five sections and tells the rich history and heritage of examinations in Singapore.

 

 

The Gallery describes

• how exams were administered during the British colonial period and the Japanese Occupation;
• the evolution the system underwent over the years since our independence; and
• how exams are now designed for the needs of Singapore and Singaporeans.

 
Admission to the Gallery is free.
