Inche Mohd. Ariff Bin Suradi asked the Minister for Education (a) how many children from the Kampong Kembangan Constituency have registered for the 1967 Primary 1 classes in each of the four language streams; and (b) how many of them will be given places in the schools at which they had registered and how many will be sent to schools elsewhere.

Mr Ong Pang Boon: Mr Speaker, Sir, the total number of children registered in primary schools within the Kampong Kembangan Constituency for the 1967 Primary One classes is 1,842. The total number of children who will be admitted into the schools at which they registered is 1,374, and the number of children who will be sent to schools elsewhere is 468. Of the 468 children who will be posted to a school other than the school where they had registered, 88 of them will be admitted into a neighbouring school within the constituency, and the remaining 380 children into the newly-completed extension of Telok Kurau East School which is about half a mile away.
