It’s 700 days to RI’s bicentennial!

Today, the 𝗥𝗜 𝗮𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟬 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 project group helmed by Chua Jun Yan (Class of 2013), Theophilus Kwek (Class of 2012), Thia Shan Zhi (Class of 2010) and Sean Ong (Class of 2015), has published four articles to mark the start of the series.

The series will centre around the theme “History of RI and History through RI” through stories about its artefacts, campuses, school events and people. The articles and topics discussed will also illuminate history through RI, telling stories that will unravel larger threads in the history of education or of Singapore’s development more generally.
