Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 6: Denise Phua on disability - living, working and learning, and inclusive employment
In parliament on Friday (Mar 7), MP Denise Phua welcomed three initiatives by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) - the Enabling Services Hubs, the Enabling Business Hubs and the Enabling Living Programme - and asked for updates on their achievements, challenges and future plans. She also urged the government to commission a comprehensive study to address the “cliff effect” - where many special education students stop learning altogether after leaving school - and consider adopting a top-up funding model for adult learners with special educational needs. She also proposed the establishment of lifelong learning colleges for major disability groups. Highlighting why work matters for persons with disabilities, she proposed five actions for the ministry to take to promote inclusive employment.
