Opposition leader Chee Soon Juan had words to say after Education Minister Chan Chun Sing announced in Parliament on Monday that from 2024 onwards, streaming in secondary schools would be removed.
Dr Chee, who heads the Singapore Democratic Party, wrote in a March 10 Facebook post that he has been “calling out the harm that streaming does to children and education system” for many years now. His exposure to the dangers of streaming began from “even before I had entered politics when I was still teaching at NUS,” he wrote.The SDP chief said that his party has repeatedly called for streaming to be scrapped, adding that its education plan had said that “students entering secondary school will not be streamed.”However, he acknowledged that in 2019, then-Education Minister Ong Ye Kung had already announced this.
But Dr Chee underlined that “The point is that they’ve repeatedly played catch-up in policy formulation that would prepare Singapore for the future.The one thing that the PAP govt has going for it is enormous state resources that it taps into to propagate the myth that it is a party of the future.
