Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 4: Wan Rizal on partnering parents to develop students
What initiatives is the Ministry of Education (MOE) implementing to enhance parental involvement and collaboration in supporting students’ holistic development? Would MOE consider establishing a co-curated dedicated platform or portal centralising resources, research and expert advice on children's mental health? Could the ministry explore partnerships between parent support groups and mental health professionals to conduct regular webinars and workshops for parents and educators? MP Wan Rizal raised these questions in Parliament on Monday (Mar 4). He noted that such initiatives can provide a deeper understanding on how to recognise early signs of mental distress, foster open communication, create supportive environments and promote resilience in children.
