There are 28,000 ITE students across Singapore, and they can register for the vaccination directly through their schools for the centre set up in their respective colleges, said Dr Maliki. "It's very encouraging today. By and large, we have about 80 to 90 per cent of responses for the different categories, and we hope more will step forward," he added.

Teachers jobs. Never ending.

So it's no longer really 'voluntary' kind of?
