Reducing Class Sizes to Increase Teachers' Effectiveness and To Empower Students

Christopher de Souza questioned if the Ministry would reduce class sizes to improve teacher effectiveness and empower students.
Chan Chun Sing explained that universal class size reduction is unsustainable due to workforce constraints and would compromise quality, as resources are scarce in Singapore.
The Ministry uses a targeted, needs-based approach, such as small support classes for younger students and varied subject class sizes under Full Subject-based Banding, to allocate resources where most needed.
Technology is being leveraged to complement teachers and provide focused support for students with different learning needs.
