I wonder why the Government still want to collect school fees, or the supplementary fees and second tier fees, when the amounts are quite small. See this webpage for details of these fees. It causes a lot of administrative work for the teachers and the schools and for the parents. Some students from poor families are not able to pay the fees and they have to be detained in school at the end of the term, until the parents pay the fees. Is it really useful to create this type of work and stress?
I am referring to the fees for primary and secondary education. Perhaps, the fees can be collected for post-secondary education, but should be waived at the lower levels.

Awesomely amazing.
ReplyDeleteCan tap taxpayers contributions to subsidize two listed transport operators, who give out dividends every financial year, cannot subsidize school fees and supplementary fees to children of the poor.
And there we are, having a rookie PAP MP, trying his best to show himself off, asking a WP MP to show him the money to spend more on the poor, and ever itching to heap sarcasm and insult on the latter for being a misinformed recent returnee from abroad.
Aiyoh, this newbie MP conveniently forgets there is such a thing as the Internet, where our expatriate son gets in touch with Singapore news at the touch of the button.
No need to come back to read the mouthpiece MSM.
