Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 6: Alex Yam on making school sports more accessible
School sports build resilience, teamwork, discipline and healthy habits for young people and should remain a pathway for excellence and platform for broad participation. But many students find it difficult to join co-curricular activities unless they already demonstrate a certain level of aptitude. This risks narrowing participation to those who are already skilled. MP Alex Yam, who highlighted this concern in parliament on Thursday (Mar 5), wanted to know how the government is working to broaden access to sports in school.
