Whether changes to the Primary 1 registration system achieve their aim of widening access will ultimately depend on parents’ decisions, said Minister for Education Desmond Lee in parliament on Wednesday (Oct 7). Under the two-track scheme, half of the Phase 2C places at selected schools will be set aside for children living within 2km, while the other half will be available to those living beyond 2km. “At least now we widen the circle and give opportunities,” Mr Lee said. #singapore #sgnews Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
