SPECTRA SECONDARY USES HORSES TO HELP STUDENTS

Spectra Secondary School is using an unusual method to deliver its Character and Citizenship Education programme to students.

It is using horses in what is called Equine-Assisted Learning Therapy, or Equal, run by non-profit group Equal-Ark Singapore.

Equal – which is usually a 16-session programme – aims to help young people work through emotional and behavioural issues through interaction with horses.
