Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament

Mr David Hoe, Jurong East-Bukit Batok GRC

Question

To ask the Minister for Education (a) in each of the last five years, what proportion of students who participated in the Uplifting Pupils in Life and Inspiring Families Taskforce (UPLIFT) programme are placed in posting groups 3, 2, and 1 or equivalent academic streams after their PSLE; and (b) whether the Ministry has observed improvements in these posting or other educational outcomes for UPLIFT participants over time.

Response

  1. The work of the Uplifting Pupils in Life and Inspiring Families Taskforce (UPLIFT) has been scaled up through integration with ComLink+, which is a whole-of-society effort led by the government to provide comprehensive, convenient and coordinated support for lower-income families with children.
  2. According to the latest available data, in 2023 and 2024, about 70% of ComLink+ families with school-going children had all children attending school regularly and progressing to post-secondary education institutions. More detailed data is publicly available in MSF’s “Supporting Lower-Income Households Trends Report”. As ComLink+ was launched recently in 2023, we would need more time to observe trends arising from efforts under ComLink+ .
