What is ForEduSG?
ForEduSG is a link shortener for the education institutions in Singapore. It is built by the Open Government Products team at GovTech.
There are multiple reasons why we built a link shortener:
URLs are too long to fit into tweets or SMSes, and difficult to remember
Email clients might block other commercial link shorteners if they are listed as spam on their site
Citizens are afraid of phishing when receiving a shortened link and unsure of where it goes
With ForEduSG, citizens and students are safe in the knowledge that the links are official. Any education officer from whitelisted organisations below can log in with their edu.sg emails and immediately create short links with the official for.edu.sg domain.
Who can use ForEduSG?
ForEduSG will be made available to officers from following agencies with .edu.sg email access.
Why didn’t I receive the OTP instantly?
An OTP is immediately sent to your email address right after you’ve keyed it in. However, your email servers may take some time to process to ensure that it is not a malicious email being sent to your inbox.
If you have problems with receiving the OTP, please contact your AFM or IT team to resolve this.
Is this the same as GoGovSG?
You might have noticed that ForEduSG looks and feels almost the same as GoGovSG That's because the same people behind GoGovSG also built ForEduSG!
We wanted to make link shortening service available to education institutions, that is how we got started with building ForEduSG.
The features you find on GoGovSG will be exactly the same as ForEduSG.
