每个学生都能学、都重要、都能成功！－专访裕峰中学校长杨国平

Every Crestan Matters Because Every Crestan Can Learn and Succeed

2013年1月开校的裕峰中学是本地第一所专为普通（工艺）源流学生开设的专门学校。教育部投入大量资源，开办专门学校栽培成绩属最底层13%的学生，是新加坡教育又一项突破。
裕峰中学校长杨国平接受《新学》新加坡教育双语双月刊访问时说“设立裕峰中学其中一个宏远的目标，是要成为普通（工艺）课程的引领者，我们大概需要两三年时间的努力去进行各种试验和归纳工作，然后与开办普通（工艺）课程的主流学校分享有效的教学方法，这是我们肩负的社会责任。”

Normal (Technical) (N(T)) students — those who are academically weaker but work better with their hands — form about 13 per cent of each cohort. In recent years the Ministry of Education (MOE) has been steadily enhancing the N(T) course to ensure that all students are catered to and no child is left behind. In line with this objective, the MOE announced in October 2011 that it will adopt a whole school experiential learning approach in setting up two brand-new specialised institutions for N(T) students — Crest Secondary School, which started this year, and Spectra Secondary School, which will open in 2014.
A year after it opened its doors, the report card for Singapore's first specialised school for N(T) students is a glowing one: the 200 N(T) students who enrolled at Crest Secondary School in January this year are responding well to the curriculum, and the School is clocking up a 97 per cent attendance rate. This is no mean feat considering that these students might previously have been indifferent about going to school at all.
