YouTube can be a great learning tool for Primary 6 students when used wisely. Educational channels offer fun and engaging videos that support subjects like Math, Science, and English.
Starting secondary school may be exciting yet daunting. Though many students start their first term motivated and optimistic, it is not uncommon for some students to start to stumble academically midway through the year. To help you begin the first chapter of your secondary school journey mentally prepared, we have compiled these TED/TEDx talks that Indigo students have found useful for their transition to the next academic stage.
