Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament

Mr Victor Lye, Ang Mo Kio GRC

Question

To ask the Minister for Education (a) whether students receiving medical or psychological treatment for gender dysphoria are permitted to continue their education in mainstream schools and junior colleges; and (b) whether any student has been required or advised to discontinue schooling, transfer institution or defer treatment because of such treatment or the student’s gender presentation.

Response

  1. Students receiving treatment for gender dysphoria may continue their education in mainstream schools, including junior colleges.
  2. Decisions concerning a student's schooling are not made on the basis of whether the student has gender dysphoria, or is receiving treatment. Schools work with the students, their parents, health and counselling professionals to enable the students to benefit from the range of learning and development opportunities in school.
