Abstract
The Talent Development Programme (TDP) was established in 2005, and forms part of the Department of Science and Innovations' set of Science Engagement Projects. The programme aims to enhance youth's access to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) through identifying and nurturing school-going learners with talent and potential. The programme focuses on improving learners' mathematics and science grades, encouraging them to participate in extra-curricular mathematics and science activities, and pursue STEM-based education studies and ultimately STEM-based careers. The TDP also aims to produce a cohort of school leavers who will be prepared for life in higher education and provides guidance on STEM related careers.-
