“I propose four areas for further improvement, including reporting beyond activities by linking EMP2030's outputs to outcomes, ensuring the plan's relevance amidst rapid societal and technological changes, addressing unaddressed gaps like inclusive insurance, criminal justice, and inclusion of mental health and neurodiversity, and re-evaluating the funding models for essential services to include a hybrid of universal base and means-tested funding.”
“I seek an update from MSF on the progress of the ComLink Plus pilot, including the number of families served and its impact, the lessons learned and key challenges faced along with the resources required, strategies to address the issue of multiple points of contact to enhance the effectiveness of Family Coaches, and measures to ensure volunteers assisting ComLink families are suitable, reliable, and committed.”
“I request an update from the MOE on the progress of PSGs over the years, the role of the Community and Parents in Support of Schools (COMPASS) advisory panel, and future strategies for harnessing parents’ potential positive energy to strengthen our education system as a whole.”
“I urge the MOE to refine its strategy for lifelong learning to include all Singaporeans, ensuring no one is left behind, and to take its place and lead in developing a more inclusive and comprehensive learning ecosystem for all Singaporeans, regardless of ability and background.”
“Improvements have been made in MOE schools over the past two decades, with the introduction of SEN officers, trained school teachers, learning support programmes and resource packages, and the Special Education Fund for tertiary level students. Nonetheless, there are still gaps in meeting the needs of these students. Calls have made for better equipping of teachers,”
“As the threats that we face become increasingly complex in wars that are fought not only in physical but also in cyberspace, Singaporeans’ commitment to a strong defense is now more important than ever.”
“Such a movement not only helps foster volunteerism among public officers, it also improves their understanding of ground issues.”
