Measures to Strengthen Socioeconomic Mixing in Oversubscribed Schools

Mr David Hoe asked the Minister for Education in its ongoing refinement to the PSLE and Secondary 1 posting framework, whether the Ministry is willing to consider measures to strengthen socioeconomic mixing in oversubscribed schools, including but not limited to setting aside a small number of places for students from disadvantaged backgrounds or introducing a socioeconomic tie-breaker in instances requiring balloting.

Mr Desmond Lee: As part of our ongoing review of these issues, we will not close off any possibilities. We will review all suggestions and ideas, including the Member's.
