Assoc Prof Kenneth Goh asked the Minister for Education (a) what weight is given to a sport's inclusion in major games like the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, Asian Games, Commonwealth Games and SEA Games when determining the sports offered in the National School Games; and (b) whether Sport Singapore (SportSG) and Sport Excellence Singapore (SpexSG) have a formal role in reviewing the sports offered, and if not, why not.
