SINGAPORE - There is no reason why Singapore will not succeed in eradicating stigmatisation of students in secondary school, given its success in doing so in primary schools - though society must also play its part, Education Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Sunday .
"Labels are everywhere, we are categorised in everything we do. Whether we want to create a wall between different people, it is really up to us as a society," he added. Asked what is being done to ensure employers would not now stigmatise potential employees based on subject bands, Mr Ong said he believed the Government taking the lead would help point Singaporeans in the right direction.
By 2024, the Normal , Normal and Express streams in secondary schools here will be replaced by full subject-based banding, where students will take up subjects at higher or lower levels, based on their strengths.
