Percentage of Students Living in HDB Flats under Public Rental Scheme

Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for Education for each year in the past five years (a) what is the percentage of students living in HDB flats under the public rental scheme; and (b) what is the average and median household income of students entering the (i) Normal (Technical) (ii) Normal (Academic) and (iii) Express streams, respectively.

Mr Ong Ye Kung: Over the last five years, approximately 2-3% of our students were living in HDB flats under the public rental scheme. MOE does not collect data on household income of students.
