GIIS to launch smart campus in Singapore's digital district

Global Indian International School (GIIS) will open the most technologically -- advanced SMART campus in Singapore -- and probably all of Asia -- which combines 21st century pedagogy with state-of-the-art amenities to educate a new generation of leaders, says a Media OutReach press release.

The SMART campus, upon completion, will be one of the first buildings in the Singapore Government's planned Punggol Digital District (PDD) which is being developed as a residential, commercial and business district as the city-state implements its Smart Nation initiative.

Phase 1 of the school will accommodate 3,500 students in its sprawling 33,000 sqm, seven-storey school, with more than 130 classrooms powered by 'virtual classroom' e-learning technology as well as interactive TV display panels, tablets and projectors.

This virtual approach to learning gives students access to a network of specialist faculty members, industry leaders and international universities. They can also collaborate with fellow students from other GIIS campuses across seven countries.
