Name and Constituency of Member of Parliament

Mr Kenneth Tiong Book Kiat

Question

To ask the Minister for Education (a) how many students participated in school-organised attachments to Members of Parliament (MPs) at Meet-the-People Sessions, such as the MP Attachment Programme, in each year since 2020; (b) what percentage were attached to MPs in Aljunied GRC, Hougang SMC or Sengkang GRC; (c) who selects the constituency, and on what criteria; and (d) whether the criteria will be published.

Response

  1. Some schools may organise learning experiences for specific student groups where students attend Meet-the-People Sessions. The objective is to provide students with age-appropriate exposure to community issues. Such decisions, including the choice of constituency, are made by schools based on their learning objectives and practical considerations.
  2. The Ministry of Education does not track students’ participation in Meet-the-People Sessions. Students may also participate in community activities in their own personal capacity.
