Extending SG Enable Training Course Fee Subsidies for Persons With Disabilities to SkillsFuture-eligible Programmes

Miss Rachel Ong asked the Minister for Education (a) whether the Government will consider extending the up to 95% course fee subsidies for persons with disabilities, under the SG Enable Training Grant, to SkillsFuture-eligible programmes offered by mainstream training providers to broaden access to industry-relevant skills development; and (b) if not, what are the reasons for limiting the scope of programmes.

Mr Desmond Lee: The inter-Ministry Taskforce on Assurance for Families with Persons with Disabilities is studying ways to better support persons with disabilities in accessing training, which could include both funding and non-financial support measures. More details will be announced when ready.
