SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Education (MOE) has set up a Committee on Safety in School Sports (CSSS) to review safety practices and issues in the conduct of school sports.
The CSSS will survey current guidelines and practices governing school sports, consider best practices in other countries and tap on views from sporting experts and the community.
It will also look into a range of areas, such as safety measures during PE and sports CCAs, appointment and training of teachers and coaches, safety awareness and culture, proper use and maintenance of sports equipment and protective gear, and medical coverage and support during activities.
In particular, the CSSS will give special attention to activities that carry a higher inherent risk of injuries, such as competitive contact sports.
The committee aims to submit its report and recommendations to MOE in a few months' time.
The committee will be chaired by MOE's Deputy Secretary (Services), Dr Mimi Choong May Ling, and comprises parents, sports officials and professionals. - CNA/vm
