Debated in Parliament on 20 Nov 2018.
Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for Education for each year in the past five years (a) what is the percentage of students living in HDB flats under the public rental scheme; and (b) what is the average and median household income of students entering the (i) Normal (Technical), (ii) Normal (Academic) and (iii) Express streams, respectively.
Over the last five years, approximately 2%-3% of our students were living in Housing and Development Board flats under the public rental scheme. The Ministry of Education does not collect data on household income of students.
