SINGAPORE - More than 10,000 Primary 5 pupils were treated to a spectacle on the evening of June 29 as they caught the first of four National Day Parade (NDP) National Education shows at the Padang. Coming from more than 70 schools across the island, the children cheered and waved their flags as they enjoyed a preview of the 2024 parade. Another 60,000 students will be attending the National Education shows over the next three weeks until July 20.

Students who will be in Secondary 3 in 2025 will be invited to watch the shows in that year.
