Lactation Rooms in Schools

Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for Education (a) whether he can provide an update on the percentage of (i) primary schools, (ii) secondary schools and (iii) post-secondary educational institutions currently having at least one lactation room; and (b) whether the Ministry can make it compulsory for all schools and educational institutions to have at least one lactation room.

Mr Chan Chun Sing: The Ministry of Education (MOE) is committed to providing a conducive workplace for nursing mothers. All MOE schools and tertiary education institutions have either at least one lactation room or suitable room for nursing mothers to use.
