Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament

Mr Leong Mun Wai, Non-Constituency Member of Parliament

Question

To ask the Minister for Education what is the number and percentage of primary schools in 2023 that had their intakes reduced as compared to 2003 and 2013 respectively.

Response

1. As mentioned in MOE’s response to a similar Parliamentary Question posed by Ms Hazel Poa for the Parliament Sitting on 5 February 2025, the school landscape has evolved significantly over the past two decades to better support the educational needs of our students.
2. Therefore, to the Member’s question, it would not be relevant to compare the intake of primary schools over the past two decades.
