The party added that academically weaker students should be the first to benefit from this change
SINGAPORE — During a house visit at Block 123 in Simei recently, the Workers’ Party Abdul Shariff Aboo Kassim had a meaningful conversation with a resident who spoke about the importance of smaller school class sizes.
“.. this is a point in Chapter 2 of WP’s Manifesto 2020 – WP called for average form class sizes to be progressively lowered to 20 with priority given to foundation subjects in primary schools and normal stream/G1 subjects in secondary schools,” said the WP’s candidate for East Coast GRC in the 2020 Singapore General Election.
Posting on social media about his encounter with the resident, Shariff added, “It’s every parent’s dream for their child to do well in school. For those from disadvantaged backgrounds, education is a conduit for social mobility.”
