Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 3: Lim Biow Chuan on admission to primary school
Young children should not have to wake up too early and travel a longer distance than necessary to their school, said MP Lim Biow Chuan. Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday (Feb 28), he urged the Government to review the Primary 1 admission scheme. It should ensure that pupils admitted with priority are also living within the distance limit to the school. The younger students will then get more rest at home. This will reduce the need for the school to arrange for school transport for the pupils, he said.
