    Singapore must break away from seeing education as 'arms race', says Desmond Lee

    SOCIAL SUPPORT

    Mr Lee, who is also Minister-in-charge of Social Services Integration, also spoke about the ComLink+ and KidSTART programmes to support low-income families and their children.

    ComLink+ currently supports around 10,000 low-income families with children, and the government will progressively expand this, he said.

    The government will also provide more comprehensive support to uplift families going forward.

    “We have partnered (the Housing and Development Board) to help families work towards home ownership,” said Mr Lee.

    “We will support our children across educational stages, including improving preschool enrolment and attendance, and ensuring a healthy home environment.

    “We will also provide dedicated employment and skills assistance that better meets the needs of families.”
